  • Patent number: 10364655
    Abstract: In a hydrocarbon field including multiple production wells and injection wells, at a hydrocarbon field level, a long-term field-level target and optional long-term well-level targets for the field are received by a field-level processor. The long-term field-level target including a long-term field-level production target indicating a quantity of hydrocarbons to be produced and a long-term field-level injection target indicating a quantity of fluid to be injected into the field. The field-level processor determines short-term individual production targets for the production wells and short-term individual injection targets for the injection wells to achieve the long-term field-level target. At an individual well level, individual hydrocarbon productions of the production wells or individual fluid injections of the injection wells are controlled, by at least one individual well-level processor independent of the field-level processor, to achieve the long-term field-level target.
