Abstract

A method of controlling a pumping sequence of a fracturing fleet at a wellsite with two wellbore comprising determining a first pumping sequence for a first wellbore and determining a second pumping sequence for a second wellbore. The pumping sequences are comprised of a plurality of pump stages that are intervals based on time or volume. The intervals of the first pumping sequence and the second pump sequences are overlapped into a combined pumping sequence. At least one interval is identified wherein the combined pumping sequence exceeds an operating limit of at least one fracturing unit and the intervals from the second pumping sequence is offset from the intervals of the first pumping sequence to create a modified combined pumping sequence, wherein the interval of the modified combined pumping sequence is below the operating limit.
