System and Method for Crossflow Detection and Intervention in Production Wellbores

A computer-readable medium accessible to a processor for executing instructions contained in a computer program embedded in the computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising:

• instructions to receive information relating to a first measurement indicative of a selected parameter of a first production zone and second measurement indicative of a selected parameter of a second production zone;
• and
• instructions to determine occurrence of a cross flow condition from a trend relating to at least one of the first measurement and the second measurement.

An apparatus for managing production from a wellbore, comprising:

• a processor that receives an input relating to a first measurement of a selected parameter corresponding to a first production zone and a second measurement relating to a selected parameter for the second production zone, each of the first and the second production zones producing a formation fluid into the wellbore, wherein the processor determines an occurrence of a cross flow condition in the wellbore from a trend relating to at the least one of the first measurement and the second measurement.
