Workflow
...
- Check the current production rate against the production target from FDP
- If the diffference is big enough to justify the cost of production optimization (see point 8 below) then proceed to the next step
- Assess formation saturation in pay zones based on well tests
- Assess formation pressure based on well tests
- Calculate the stabilized flow bottom-hole pressure
- Gather the current bottom-hole pressure
