A missile for a hydraulic fracturing system can include a high-pressure (HP) manifold, a low-pressure (LP) manifold, and a main manifold in between. The missile is configured to simultaneously fracture three or more wells. The HP manifold has multiple input channels, an output channel, and a main channel disposed in between. The LP manifold includes a LP input channel, multiple LP output channels, and a LP manifold in between.

Systems and methods for simultaneously fracturing multiple wells from a common wellpad

A system for fracturing multiple wellbores on a multi-well pad can include a missile that receives high-pressure fracturing fluid from a plurality of pump truck. The system can also include a main manifold that receives the high-pressure fracturing fluid from the missile, where the main manifold includes multiple valves and multiple output channels, where each of the valves are operated between an open position and a closed position. The system can further include multiple wellbores including a first wellbore, a second wellbore, and a third wellbore, where the wellbores are connected to the output channels of the main manifold. The valves of the main manifold can be operated to enable simultaneous flow of the high-pressure fracturing fluid to the first wellbore, the second wellbore, and the third wellbore so that the first wellbore, the second wellbore, and the third wellbore are fractured simultaneously.
