1. A method for continuous operation of a multichannel fracturing operation that includes at least a first well that is connected to a second well comprising:
supplying a frac fluid to said second well and a first frac manifold that is connected to said first well;
creating a pressure at said first frac manifold where said at least one first flow control valve at said first frac manifold is closed during said creating a pressure step, while frac fluid is still being supplied to said second well, wherein said fluid pressure is measured at said first flow control valve by a first sensor;
reopening said first flow control valve at said first frac manifold for supplying said frac fluid to said first well through a first frac tree that is fluidly connected to said first frac manifold, wherein after a period of time frac fluid is no longer being supplied to said second well; and
closing at least one first flow control valve at said first frac manifold after said reopening step.
