    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a method, apparatus, and computer program product for improving production of an oil well. For example, one disclosed embodiment includes a system that includes at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor performs operations for generating a model of a wellbore in a wellbore simulator. The at least one processor further executes an algorithm that determines optimal parameters for inflow control devices (ICD) along a horizontal portion of the wellbore. The determined optimal parameters of the inflow control devices would yield a substantially uniform approach of at least one of water and gas along the horizontal portion of the wellbore.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented in this disclosure for performing fast economic analysis of production by fracture-stimulated wells. A class of models can be defined by combining a simulated fracture geometry comprising a stimulated reservoir volume with accounting for fluid dynamics and phase transitions in the stimulated reservoir volume for modeling production in a plurality of reservoirs. An objective function related to the production in the plurality of reservoirs can be generated based on at least one model from the class of models. Parameters related to fracture stages of a fracture network can be then determined, based on the objective function, and communicated, via a computer network to a computing device, to be used for at least one of building or operating the fracture network in the reservoir.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a simulation apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory to store a set of instructions, which when executed by the processor, forms a machine programmed to generate an analytical solution to simulate multiple scenarios for a total fluid flow rate in order to find one of the scenarios that meets a desired total flow rate for a fluid flow entering a portion of a screen to pass through one or more orifices in a base conduit covered by the screen. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are described.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an optimal acid placement design for a production well near an aquifer are provided. An optimal acid placement that is determined accounts for the drawdown from heel to toe of the production well and reservoir heterogeneity to thereby address the issue of water breakthrough from the nearby aquifer and improve hydrocarbon recovery.
