The complete paper describes an integrated workflow for automated well monitoring using pressure and rate measurements obtained with permanent gauges and flowmeters. The workflow is based on time-lapse pressure transient analysis (PTA) and integrates the following components: virtual flowmetering (VFM), transient identification, feature extraction and pattern recognition in transient pressure responses, and assessment of well performance based on PTA metrics. The methodology behind the workflow combines different physics-informed and data-driven methods described in the paper.
A New Workflow for Automated Well Monitoring
The concept of the automated workflow described in the complete paper has been suggested in the literature. The workflow consists of four main steps (Fig.
