Abstract: Design and control of well systems with multiple tubing strings is described. An example system models multiple tubing strings in wellbores as segments, with multiple control points selectively located among the segments. Each segment is modeled as one or more equations that describe characteristics of a fluid resource associated with the segment. The system can predict flow of fluids and energy in a wellbore by solving physical conservation equations subject to specified conditions. The system models multiple control points, and solves the equations to convergence to satisfy injection and production targets and specified constraints. Results may be used to improve production of the resource. The system can apply a variety of strategies to model wells via multiple control points, including conservation of mass and energy models, a global phase-component partitioning model, a conductive heat transfer model, a pseudo-pressure model, a non-Darcy flow model, a phase separation model, and so forth.

Abstract: A device receives information that identifies a model, of a finite state machine, that includes information that identifies a parent state and sub-states of the parent state. The device generates a data structure that designates an enumerated data type associated with the parent state, where the enumerated data type includes values corresponding to the sub-states.

The device detects, based on the state transitions, a change in an active sub-state that represents a particular sub-state, of the sub-states, that is active at a particular time during execution of the model. The device provides state transition information that identifies changes in the active sub-state over time.
