CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR FRACTURING OPERATIONS

摘要

A system can include a low pressure manifold that includes an inlet and a plurality of outlets and a high pressure manifold that comprises a plurality of inlets and an outlet. The system can include a flow path that comprises one of the outlets of the low pressure manifold and one of the inlets of the high pressure manifold. The system can further include a pump that includes a portion of the flow path and a valve coupled with one of the low pressure manifold and the high pressure manifold. The system can further include a control system coupled with the valve and the pump, and the control system can include a processor that is configured to make a determination of whether the valve is in fluid communication with the flow path and control at least one of the valve and the pump based on the determination.
