Abstract

A method for determining an operating envelope for a wellbore can include receiving an indication of a hydrocarbon production rate of a hydrocarbon fluid into the wellbore from at least one production zone, receiving an indication of a fluid production rate of a fluid into the wellbore from the at least one production zone, receiving an indication of a pressure within the wellbore while producing the one or more fluids from the wellbore from the at least one production zone, correlating the indication of the pressure with the hydrocarbon production rate and the fluid production rate, and determining an operating envelope based on the correlating. The fluid production rate comprises at least one of: an aqueous fluid production rate or a gas production rate. The operating envelope defines a boundary for the indication of the pressure, the fluid production rate, and the hydrocarbon production rate.
