Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for preventing flaring at a facility, by a system, includes receiving a plurality of pressure measurements from a sensor disposed downstream of the facility. The method further includes comparing the plurality of pressure measurements to a threshold pressure, wherein the threshold pressure corresponds to mitigating a flaring event. In response to determining that at least one of the plurality of pressure measurements is greater than the threshold pressure, the method further includes analyzing injection response curves for a plurality of wells to determine a first well for adjusting a back pressure on a reservoir intersected by the first well. The method further includes transmitting an instruction to the first well to adjust the back pressure on the reservoir.
