Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: obtaining surface production data of wells in the gas production system; generating, using a well simulation module and a surface network module, predictions about a plurality of conditions in the gas production system; computing a difference between measured conditions obtained from the production data and predicted conditions obtained from the predictions about the plurality of conditions; determining, based on the computed difference, a performance deviation in the gas production system; comparing the performance deviation to a predetermined threshold value that represents an acceptable tolerance for variance in performance of the gas production system; 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 gas production system.
