Abstract
Example computer-implemented methods and systems for gas and water breakthrough detection in producing wells. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving flow rate measurement data of produced gas and produced oil of a producing well in a subsurface reservoir. Composition measurement data of the produced gas and the produced oil are received. An occurrence of a producing well breakthrough of gas injected into the subsurface reservoir from one or more injection wells is detected based on the received flow rate measurement data and the received composition measurement data.
