Utilizing analytical models to identify wells in which to install plunger lift for improved well production

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to:
• receive one or more trained analytical models,
• wherein the one or more trained analytical models are trained with:
• first well data associated with first wells where plunger lift is installed;
• receive second well data associated with second wells where plunger lift is installed,
• wherein the second wells are located within a geographical area;
• receive third well data associated with a candidate well where plunger lift is not installed,
• wherein the candidate well is located within the geographical area, and
• wherein the candidate well is a candidate for plunger lift installation;
• process the second well data, with the one or more trained analytical models, to determine pre-plunger lift installation data associated with the second wells;
• process the second well data and the pre-plunger lift installation data, with the one or more trained analytical models, to determine a set of performing wells, of the second wells, and a set of underperforming wells of the second wells;
• process the third well data and data associated with the set of performing wells, with the one or more trained analytical models, to determine a first metric associated with the candidate well;
• process the third well data and data associated with the set of underperforming wells, with the one or more trained analytical models, to determine a second metric associated with the candidate well;
• determine that plunger lift is to be installed in the candidate well based on the first metric and the second metric;
• and
• perform one or more actions based on determining that plunger lift is to be installed in the candidate well,
• wherein the one or more processors, to perform the one or more actions, are to:
• cause a plunger to be ordered,
• dispatch, when the plunger is received, equipment to the candidate well, and
• cause the plunger lift to be installed in the candidate well.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive first well data associated with first wells where plunger lift is installed,
• wherein the first wells are located within a geographical area;
• receive second well data associated with a candidate well where plunger lift is not installed,
• wherein the candidate well is located within the geographical area, and
• wherein the candidate well is a candidate for plunger lift installation;
• process the first well data, with a first model and a second model, to determine pre-plunger lift installation data associated with the first wells;
• process the first well data and the pre-plunger lift installation data, with a third model, to determine a set of performing wells, of the first wells, and a set of underperforming wells of the first wells;
• process the second well data and data associated with the set of performing wells, with a fourth model, to determine a first metric associated with the candidate well;
• process the second well data and data associated with the set of underperforming wells, with the fourth model, to determine a second metric associated with the candidate well;
• determine whether to install plunger lift in the candidate well based on the first metric and the second metric;
• and
• perform one or more actions based on determining whether to install plunger lift in the candidate well,
• wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to perform the one or more actions, cause the one or more processors to:
• cause a plunger to be ordered,
• dispatch, when the plunger is received, equipment to the candidate well, and
• cause the plunger lift to be installed in the candidate well.
