Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes analyzing a first dataset by applying the first dataset to a first model to generate a first result. The method further includes analyzing a second dataset by applying the second dataset to a second model to generate a second result. The method further includes performing validation on the first model and the second model by comparing the first result to the second result. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the first result and the second result match, modifying an operational action of a surface assembly based on at least one of the first result or the second result. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the first result and the second result do not match, updating at least one of the first model or the second model.

Multi-sensor data assimilation and predictive analytics for optimizing well operations

A method of online real-time estimation of production performance properties includes receiving real-time field data taken by downhole sensors, and estimating formation properties and production performance properties by applying the field data to a two or three-dimensional numerical transient thermal multiphase reservoir flow model, and automatically calibrating the model. Calibrating includes: selecting calibration parameters corresponding to values of selected model parameters, and applying the calibration parameters to the model to generate predicted properties that correlate with the selected model parameters, the predicted properties including flow rates and/or formation properties; automatically calculating a difference between the predicted properties and measured properties that correlate with the selected model parameters, and calculating an objective function value; performing an inversion that includes iteratively adjusting the selected model parameters until the objective function reaches a selected minimum value; and automatically updating the model by applying the selected model parameters associated with the minimum value.
