Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: obtaining production data about the well; generating a simulated average reservoir pressure at the subsurface region that includes the well; computing a difference between an average reservoir pressure obtained from the production data and the simulated average reservoir pressure; determining, based on the computed difference, a performance deviation with reference to a particular area of the subsurface region that includes the well; comparing the performance deviation to a predetermined threshold value that represents an acceptable tolerance for variance in performance of the well; and triggering, when the performance deviation exceeds the predetermined threshold value, a particular type of automated response comprising an action that addresses the variance in performance of the well.
