An apparatus for predicting a downhole viscosity of a treating fluid has an energizer and a viscometer. The treating fluid has a gel. The energizer is capable of energizing a sample of the gel. The viscometer is capable of measuring a viscosity of the energized sample. The viscosity of the sample is predictive downhole viscosity of the treating fluid. The predicted downhole viscosity may be used to improve downhole viscosity. After the downhole viscosity is predicted, a concentration modification fluid can be added to cause the predicted viscosity to approach a desired viscosity.
