Abstract
Computing systems, computer-readable media, and methods may include determining, for a hydrocarbon field, one or more formation properties and one or more fluid properties and determining, for the hydrocarbon field, a location of one or more wells and a configuration of the one or more wells. The method may include dividing the hydrocarbon field into one or more grid cells. The method may include simulating fluid flow in at least one of the one or more grid cells based on a multi-point well connection process. The multi-point well connection process may determine flow conditions between the one or more wells and the at least of the one or more grid cells. The method may include determining one or more parameters of the one or more wells based at least in part on the fluid flow.
