Abstract

A method for determining at least one zonal flow rate of a reservoir well comprises: receiving input data representing at least one state parameter of the reservoir well; determining a generative model of the at least one state parameter and a generative model of the at least one zonal flow rate; iteratively adapting the generative models to minimize divergence from available data until the generative models and the available data converge; and, once the generative models and the available data converge, using the generative model of the at least one zonal flow rate to compute the at least one zonal flow rate.
