Abstract
A hybrid modeling approach incorporates both physics-based reservoir modeling and machine learning technique to capture dynamic behavior of unconventional wells. Shut-in bottom hole pressure for unconventional wells are simulated for use as proxy for reservoir pressure in unconventional reservoirs. Production parameters for unconventional wells (e.g., gas/oil ratio, water cut, flowing bottom hole pressure, shut-in bottom hole pressure, productivity index) are determined for use in controlling the operations of unconventional wells.
