Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure include receiving measured data corresponding to a wellbore and locating the measured data in a flow map corresponding to the wellbore. The method also includes converting the measured data to determine friction loss and comparing the located measured data and the determined friction loss. Moreover, the method also includes determining that the located measured data is consistent with the determined friction loss with a common flow regime and deeming the common flow regime as a current flow regime. Furthermore, the method includes controlling an operation in the wellbore based at least in part on the deemed current flow regime.
