  • (a) processing collected field wide reservoir data in accordance with one or more predetermined algorithms to obtain a resultant desired field wide production/injection forecast;

    (b) generating a signal to one or more individual well control devices instructing the device to increase or decrease flow through the well control device;

    (c) transmitting the signal to the individual well control device;

    (d) opening or closing the well control device in response to the signal to increase or decrease the production of one or more selected wells; and
