1. A method comprising:
accessing well completion design data for completing a plurality of stages of a well completion operation, the well completion operation being performed with a frac fleet including a plurality of frac pump transports, each frac pump transport including a plurality of frac pumps, and each frac pump including a plurality of components;
accessing pump maintenance data associated with the plurality of components, the pump maintenance data including usage data of a plurality of historical well completion operations performed by the frac fleet;
analyzing the pump maintenance data to generate a maintenance prediction model, the maintenance prediction model being configured to output for each of the plurality of components, a predicted component life interval as a function of an operating condition of the well completion operation, and actual component life intervals and associated metrics of replaced components corresponding to the component, wherein the associated metrics include, for a given replaced component (i) a maintenance event metric indicating whether the given replaced component was replaced due to a preventative maintenance event or a failure maintenance event, and (ii) operating conditions during a life of the given replaced component, the operating conditions specifying frac job design metrics indicating pumping parameters associated with the given replaced component, wherein the predicted component life interval is measured in one of a number of pump strokes and a number of barrels pumped,
determining for each of the plurality of components of the frac fleet, a remaining component life interval based on the predicted component life interval and a tracked current component life; and
scheduling a continuous completion event for the well completion operation based on the remaining component life interval for each of the plurality of components, the continuous completion event including a continuous pumping block and a maintenance block, the continuous pumping block identifying one or more contiguous stages from among the plurality of stages during which the well completion operation is performed with the frac fleet, and the maintenance block identifying one or more of the plurality of frac pumps to be subject to predetermined maintenance operations upon completion of the one or more contiguous stages of the continuous pumping block.
