Continuous pumping operations using decoupled pump maintenance

A computer program product having a series of operating instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that directs a data processing apparatus when executed thereby to perform operations to direct a hot swap of a pump in a pumping system using automated systems, the operations comprising:

• directing an isolating of a first pump in a set of pumps, wherein the set of pumps has at least two pumps, the set of pumps configured to pump fluid under a high pressure into a wellbore, the set of pumps coupled to the pumping system, the isolating including remotely closing a remotely controlled high pressure isolation device placed between the first pump and a high pressure manifold of the pumping system, and the pumping system is one of an injection well pumping system or a hydraulic fracturing (HF) pumping system;
• instructing a bleeding of the high pressure from the first pump, the bleeding including remotely opening a remotely controlled bleed valve placed between the remotely controlled high pressure isolation device and the first pump, and evacuating fluid from the first pump;
• directing a disconnecting of the first pump using a remotely controlled pump connection apparatus;
• managing a swapping of the first pump with a replacement pump, wherein the replacement pump is added to the set of pumps and the first pump is removed from the set of pumps;
• instructing an aligning of the replacement pump to the isolation device;
• instructing a connecting of the replacement pump to the pumping system;
• and
• enabling the replacement pump to be utilized by the pumping system.
