Abstract: Continuous gross rate of each of a plurality of wells is estimated. Information provided by sensors configured with each of a plurality of electrical submersible pumps is received. Information associated with a respective model of each of the plurality of electrical submersible pumps is accessed. Utilizing at least one of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the information provided by sensors and the information associated with the respective model of each of the plurality of electrical submersible pumps is processed to estimate a first gross rate of each of the plurality of wells. A second gross rate of each of the plurality of wells is estimated via a pipeline simulation that applies a physics-based model. A continuous gross rate for each of the plurality of wells is estimated as a function the first gross rate and the second gross rate.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a system for dynamic real-time water-cut monitoring that includes a plurality of sensors for sensing pressure across a pipe that includes logic that causes the system to determine whether to use a direct approach for determining water-cut. In some embodiments, in response to determining not to use the direct approach, the logic causes the system to determine an initial guess for water-cut, estimate at least one dynamic pressure loss across the distance, estimate at least one potential energy pressure loss across the distance, estimate a value for water-cut from the at least one dynamic pressure loss and the at least one potential energy pressure loss, determine whether the initial guess is within a predetermined threshold of the value for water-cut, and in response to determining that the initial guess is within the predetermined threshold of the value for water-cut, output the value for water-cut.

Abstract: An aggregate MRC well includes a plurality of maximum reservoir contact (MRC) wells, a plurality of independently operated flow control or completion units installed in each of the plurality of MRC wells, a plurality of pressure regimes corresponding to the plurality of MRC wells, and a single production string connecting each of the plurality of MRC wells. The method includes providing a plurality of maximum reservoir contact (MRC) wells forming an aggregate MRC well, providing a plurality of independently operated flow control valves in each of the plurality of MRC wells, providing a plurality of pressure regimes corresponding to the plurality of MRC wells, and providing a single production string connecting each of the plurality of MRC wells.
