1. A system, comprising:

  • one or more processors;

    a non-transitory tangible computer-readable memory, the memory comprising;

    a well completion expert system executable by the one or more processors and configured to provide one or more well completion recommendations based on one or more inputs, the well completion expert system comprising a well completion Bayesian decision network (BDN) model, the well completion BDN model comprising;

    a wellbore fluids uncertainty node configured to receive one or more wellbore fluids from the one or more inputs;

    a hydrocarbon types uncertainty node configured to receive one or more hydrocarbon types from the one or more inputs;

    a completion fluids uncertainty node configured to receive one or more completion fluids from the one or more inputs;

    a packers decision node configured to receive one or more packers from the one or more inputs;

    a treatment fluids decision node configured to receive one or more treatment fluids from the one or more inputs; and

    a packers consequences node dependent on the wellbore fluids uncertainty node, the hydrocarbon types uncertainty node, the completion fluids uncertainty node, the packers decision node, and the treatment fluids decision node and configured to output the one or more well completion recommendations based on one or more Bayesian probabilities calculated from the one or more wellbore fluids, the one or more hydrocarbon types, the one or more completion fluids, the one or more packers, and the one or more treatment fluids.
