Patent Images
1. A method of managing multiple wells connected to a reservoir. comprising the steps of:
- a. setting production and performance goals for each individual well;
b. monitoring the performance of each individual well;
c. enabling each individual well to assess its own situational state; and
d. enabling socially interactive corrective actions comprising enabling collaboration and cooperation among the wells, such that the wells share with each other their situational states, goals, and plan data;
developing and refining remediation strategies for problems detected within the wells;
allowing execution of the remediation strategies either independently, or by operator intervention;
applying the remediation strategies to each individual well;
revising and resetting the goals, and integrating pattern recognition and machine learning within all preceding steps,wherein associative memories are used in the step of monitoring the performance of each individual well.
