1. A wellsite hydraulic fracturing pumper system, the system comprising:
one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps configured to provide a slurry to a wellhead in hydraulic fracturing pumping stages and when positioned at a hydrocarbon well site, each of the hydraulic fracturing pumps comprising a gas turbine engine mechanically linked to a hydraulic fracturing pump via a drive shaft; and
a controller to control the hydraulic fracturing pumps, the controller positioned in signal communication with a terminal, a computing device, and sensors included on the hydraulic fracturing pumps, the controller including a processor and a memory storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, to:
determine if the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps are operable between 75 percent to 90 percent of a pressure rating;
in response to a determination that the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps are operable between 75 percent and 90 percent of the pressure rating, communicate a prompt to the terminal to accept the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps for use in a hydraulic fracturing pump stage; and
in response to an acceptance of use of the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps operable between 75 percent and 90 percent of the pressure rating, communicate a prompt requesting a user to enter identification to confirm selection of the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps.
