    Abstract: Fluid production can be simulated using a reservoir model and a tubing model. For example, pressure data and saturation data can be received from a reservoir model simulating a hydrocarbon reservoir in a subterranean formation. A tubing model can be generated by performing nodal analysis using the pressure data and the saturation data. A well-test result can be received that indicates an amount of fluid produced by the wellbore at a particular time. A tuned tubing model can be generated by adjusting the tubing model such that a tubing-model estimate of the amount of fluid produced by the wellbore at the particular time matches the well-test result. An estimated amount of fluid produced by the well-bore can then be determined using the tuned tubing model. The estimated amount of fluid produced by the wellbore may be used for production allocation or controlling a well tool.
