Abstract
A method is provided which includes injecting a fluid into a wellbore; measuring, by a surface pressure sensor, a surface pressure; and measuring, by a downhole pressure sensor, a downhole pressure. A controller determines a true friction pressure based on a pressure differential between the surface pressure and the downhole pressure. A concentration of one or more components in the fluid is adjusted based on the true friction pressure to lower a total friction pressure loss.
