1. A method, comprising:

  • obtaining distributed measurements of acoustic energy as a function of time and position downhole;

    deriving acoustic activity values as a function of time and position from the one or more distributed measurements;

    applying at least some of the acoustic activity values to a flow prediction model to obtain a predicted fluid flow for a downhole perforation cluster as a function of time, wherein the flow prediction model includes a proppant compensation value or factor; and

    storing or displaying the predicted fluid flow.
