Abstract:
A method relates to generating and selecting in-flow control device design simulations. The method includes generating, based on a synthetic production logging profile and properties of a reservoir associated with a target well, a first design simulation and a second design simulation, the first design simulation including representations of a first plurality of in-flow devices and the second design simulation including different representations of a second plurality of in-flow devices, locations of the representations of the first plurality of in-flow devices and different locations of the different representations of the second plurality of in-flow devices is based on density parameters and cross-sectional area parameters, generating, automatically and without user intervention, case selection factors associated with each of the first design simulation and the second design simulation, ranking, automatically and without user intervention, the case selection factors; and selecting based on the ranking, automatically and without user intervention, at least one of the first design simulation or the second design simulation.
