METHOD AND SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMIZE WELL MANAGEMENT IN SYSTEMS OF WELLS

Abstract: a methodology for optimizing the recovery from a system of wells is provided. the method is executed via a processor of a computing system. the method includes receiving input data for a system of wells. the method also further includes predicting, via a trained virtual flow meter, virtual flow rates for the system of wells for a scenario using a predicted pressure and temperature for the scenario. the predicted pressure and temperature are generated based on the input data. the method includes generating a production optimization recommendation based on the predicted virtual flow rates and a received rule for the system of wells. the method includes adjusting a manipulative parameter of a well in the system of wells based on production optimization recommendation.
