Abstract
Systems and methods include a method for multi-segmented oil production. A multi-segmented well production model representing production at a multi-segmented oil production facility is calibrated. The model models production based on well rates and flowing bottom-hole pressure data at various choke settings for multiple flow conditions for each segment of the multi-segmented well. Real-time updates to the well rates and the flowing bottom-hole pressure data are received. Changes to triggers identifying thresholds for identifying production improvements are received. The model is re-calibrated based on the changes to the triggers and the real-time updates. An optimization algorithm is executed to determine new optimal inflow control valve (ICV) settings. Using the re-calibrated multi-segmented well production model, a determination is made whether the new optimal ICV settings improve production. If so, the optimal ICV settings are provided to a control panel for the multi-segmented oil production facility.
