Abstract
A wellbore servicing system, the system comprising at least one wellbore servicing equipment component, wherein a flow path extends from the wellbore servicing system component into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, and a pressure control system in fluid communication with the flow path, wherein the pressure control system comprises a relief path configured to communicate fluid through the pressure control system, a pressure control device configured to permit fluid communication between the flow path and the relief path upon experiencing a pressure and/or a differential pressure of at least a predetermined pressure threshold, and a first valve disposed within the relief path, wherein the first valve is configured to actuate from an open configuration to a closed configuration.
