Abstract
A method of modelling one of a plurality of hydrocarbon production wells, wherein each production well is associated with at least one control point in a flow path associated therewith. The method comprises: (i) generating a first model capable of describing for any one of the first plurality of production wells a relationship between flow parameters, well parameters and/or an associated status of the at least one control point, wherein the first model is parameterised by a set of first parameters representative of properties common to all of the first plurality of production wells. The model can be applied to estimate well parameters, flow parameters and/or the status of control points. In addition, the resultant models can be used to optimise production of the production well.
