A pumping system pumps material downhole, for example, to perform a fracturing operation. The pumping system comprises one or more variable speed engines, one or more variable displacement hydraulic pumps and one or more intensifiers. According to the desired or required load, the speed of the engine is set at an optimal or most efficient operating speed. The volumetric displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic pump is set to provide the desired output volume and pressure of the material from the intensifier. Varying the speed of the engine and the volumetric displacement of the variable displacement pump allows for the pumping system and in particular the engine to operate at an optimal efficiency which reduces at least fuel costs and wear and tear on components.
