Abstract
A compartmentalized hydraulic fracturing (frac) system may include a mono line configured to carry frac fluid into a well. The system may include a plurality of zones, each zone comprising: a set of one or more frac pumps each configured to pump frac fluid into the mono line, an isolation valve configured to control the flow of frac fluid between the set of frac pumps and the mono line; and a bleed valve configured to release pressurized frac fluid from the set of frac pumps when in an open position. The system may include partition walls between the plurality of zones. The system may include a control system configured to deactivate or reactivate a zone of the plurality of zones by controlling the set of frac pumps, the isolation valve, and the bleed valve of the zone.
