Multilevel production control for complex network of wells with smart completions

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

• applying choke settings to one or more control elements of each well in a group of wells;
• applying, to the group of wells, rig control settings defining, for each rule in a set of rules:
• a rule count limiting a number of times a rule is to be executed in a simulation run;
• and
• a rule frequency identifying a time frequency by which the rule is to be executed during the simulation run;
• receiving settings for targets and constraints for the group of wells;
• and
• executing the simulation run for the group of wells using the choking settings, the rig control settings, and the settings for the targets and the constraints for the group of wells.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the programming instructions instructing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• applying choke settings to one or more control elements of each well in a group of wells;
• applying, to the group of wells, rig control settings defining, for each rule in a set of rules:
• a rule count limiting a number of times a rule is to be executed in a simulation run;
• and
• a rule frequency identifying a time frequency by which the rule is to be executed during the simulation run;
• receiving settings for targets and constraints for the group of wells;
• and
• executing the simulation run for the group of wells using the choking settings, the rig control settings, and the settings for the targets and the constraints for the group of wells.
