Abstract
A system and method for remotely disconnecting a high-pressure pump from an active fracturing operation that includes a missile side valve in fluid communication with a missile or manifold of a fracturing system, a pump side valve in fluid communication with a moveable high-pressure pump and the missile side valve, and a bleed valve in communication with a fluid passage interconnecting the missile side valve and the pump side valve, wherein the operation of missile side valve, the pump side valve, and the bleed valve are controlled remotely.
