Abstract
Fluid production can be simulated using a reservoir model and a tubing model. For example, pressure data and saturation data can be received from a reservoir model simulating a hydrocarbon reservoir in a subterranean formation. A tubing model can be generated by performing nodal analysis using the pressure data and the saturation data. A well-test result can be received that indicates an amount of fluid produced by the wellbore at a particular time. A tuned tubing model can be generated by adjusting the tubing model such that a tubing-model estimate of the amount of fluid produced by the wellbore at the particular time matches the well-test result. An estimated amount of fluid produced by the wellbore can then be determined using the tuned tubing model. The estimated amount of fluid produced by the wellbore may be used for production allocation or controlling a well tool.
