1. A computer implemented method executed by one or more processors comprising:
- receiving data about operation of a well for extracting a product from a subterranean reservoir and about operation of a processing and transport system downstream of a well head and upstream of a point of sale;
automatically initiating and executing, using at least one processor, an adjustment to modeling of the processing and transport system continuously in response to the received data; and
after adjustment to the modeling of the processing and transport system, automatically outputting an instruction for, in response to the received data, initiating in real time a corrective action to the processing and transport system equipment downstream of the well head.

Abstract
Data about operation of a well for extracting a product from the subterranean reservoir and at least one of a characteristic of a subterranean reservoir or operation of a processing and transport system upstream of a point of sale is received. A corrective action can be automatically initiated on at least one of the well or the processing and transport system in response to a difference between the received data and a specified operational objective. An adjustment to a model of the reservoir, the well, and the processing and transporting system can be automatically initiated in response to the received data.
