Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for intelligent, real-time monitoring and managing of changes in oilfield equilibrium to optimize production of desired hydrocarbons and economic viability of the field. In some examples, a method can involve generating, based on a topology of a field of wells, a respective graph for the wells, each respective graph including computing devices coupled with one or more sensors and/or actuators. The method can involve collecting, via the computing devices, respective parameters associated with one or more computing devices, sensors, actuators, and/or models, and identifying a measured state associated with the computing devices, sensors, actuators, and/or models. Further, the method can involve automatically generating, based on the respective graph and respective parameters, a decision tree for the measured state, and determining, based on the decision tree, an automated adjustment for modifying production of hydrocarbons and/or an economic parameter of the hydrocarbon production.
