A method for balancing a pump load of a plurality of pumping units during a pumping operation comprising determining a first balance pump load based on a set of weighted factors. The method determines a second balanced pump load after receiving an indication of reduced pumping performance from a first pumping unit. The method excludes the first pumping unit from the second balanced pump load while maintaining the flowrate of the first balanced pump load. The method determines a transition pump load to transition from the first pump load to the second pump load as the first pumping unit ramps down.

A method for minimizing over pressurization during a pressure test of a fluid distribution system comprises a plurality of pumping units in fluid communication with a wellhead via a manifold. The method comprises pressurizing the fluid distribution system with a fluid using an initial number of pumping units to an initial predetermined pressure, and further pressurizing the fluid distribution system with the fluid using a final number of pumping units to a final predetermined pressure. The final number of pumping units is less than the initial number of pumping units.

A system for reducing far-field noise produced by well operations includes a passive sound barrier shielding an area, in which the well operations are performed, in an open-air environment. The system further includes a sound sensor to receive near-field noise from the well operations. The system further includes an analysis module, coupled to the sound sensor, to generate an anti-noise signal. The system further includes active anti-noise generators, coupled to the analysis module, to generate anti-noise, based on the anti-noise signal, that destructively interferes with noise from the well operations outside of the passive sound barrier at a predetermined distance from the passive sound barrier. The analysis module generates the anti-noise signal based on the near-field noise, the predetermined distance, and adjustable positions and orientations of the active anti-noise generators.

Undetected emissions may damage devices at a work site and pose a safety hazard to the surrounding environment. A method of control based on predictive emissions detection is disclosed. The method uses sensors coupled to work site equipment to identify devices and regions of a work site that may be affected by adverse conditions. Detection of such emissions may allow the system or operator to shut down or otherwise act on equipment before any harm is done to the device or personnel in the area.

A raceway aligns conduit disposed in one or more raceway segments. The conduit provides a pathway for one or more resources to be delivered to certain equipment at a site. An access port of the raceway segment provides access to the resources distributed or conveyed by the conduit. The raceway segments are anchored to a surface to provide stability. The raceway may also include a ground grid to ground the raceway or other equipment. The conduit may convey any number of resources required at the site. The resources may include utilities, fluid, communications lines, control lines, or any other resource needed at the site. Any number of raceway segments may be coupled together to form a raceway for a site.
