Abstract
Provided are techniques that include determining a first set of operating parameters for a hydrocarbon well for a first period; determining, based on the first set of operating parameters, a skin factor (S); determining, based on the skin factor (S), a well model for the well; determining, a second set of operating parameters for the well for a second period; determining, based on the second set of operating parameters, well performance characteristics for the second period that include: a well pressure and a production flowrate for the second period of time; determining that the well performance characteristics for the second period are not consistent with the well model and, in response: determining, based on the second set of operating parameters, an updated skin factor; and determining, based on the updated skin factor (S), an updated well model for the well.
