Abstract

Provided are embodiments that include segmenting a trajectory of a wellbore of a hydrocarbon well. For each segment, determining whether the segment includes a connection or a flow control element, and in response to determining that the segment includes a connection, generating a conduit link for the segment, in response to determining that the segment includes one or more flow control elements, generating an element link for the segment, or in response to determining that the segment does not include a connection or a flow control element, merging a modeling of the segment with modeling of a conduit link for an adjacent segment of the wellbore. Generating, based on the conduit links and element links generated, a reduced connectivity graph for the hydrocarbon well and a simulation of the hydrocarbon well.
