    Abstract: A system is described for estimating well production and injection rates of a subterranean reservoir using machine learning models. The system may include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform various operations. The processor may receive a set of static geological data about at least one subterranean reservoir in a subterranean formation. The processor may apply a trained convolutional neural network to the set of static geological data and data on initial states of dynamic reservoir properties to determine dynamic outputs of the subterranean reservoir. The processor may determine well data by extracting the set of static geological data and the dynamic outputs at well trajectories. And, the processor may apply a trained artificial neural network to the well data and subterranean grid information about the subterranean reservoir to generate estimated well production and injection rates.

    Abstract: Using production data and a production flow record based on the production data, a deep neural network (DNN) is trained to model a proxy flow simulation of a reservoir. The proxy flow simulation of the reservoir is performed, using an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF), based on the trained DNN. The EnKF assimilates new data through updating a current ensemble to obtain history matching by minimizing a difference between a predicted production output from the proxy flow simulation and measured production data from a field. Using the updated current ensemble, a second proxy flow simulation of the reservoir is performed based on the trained DNN. The assimilating and the performing are repeated while new data is available for assimilating. Predicted behavior of the reservoir is determined based on the proxy flow simulation of the reservoir. An indication of the predicted behavior is provided to facilitate production of fluids from the reservoir.
