Methods to perform real-time analysis of fluid flow in a well, methods to perform real-time analysis of a well operation, and real-time well operation systems

A computer-implemented method to perform a real-time analysis of a well operation, comprising:

• determining, based on data streamed from a plurality of sensors disposed in a well, a presence of a malfunctioning hardware disposed in the well, wherein the data is associated with a plurality of parameters of a model of a well, the model being a digital twin of the well;
• determining whether a property of the model is within a threshold range;
• and
• in response to a determination that the model is not within the threshold range:
• determining an improvement to the property of the model;
• and
• dynamically recalibrating the model in real time based on the data streamed from the plurality of sensors to improve the property of the model.

A real-time well operation system, comprising:

• a storage medium;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive data simultaneously streamed from a plurality of sensors disposed in a well;
• populate a model of the well with the data, wherein the model comprises a plurality of parameters that are inputs of the model, and wherein each parameter of the plurality of parameters is associated with data streamed from a sensor of the plurality of sensors;
• calculate a fluid flow of a fluid flowing through a location of the well based on the model;
• and
• in response to receiving new data streamed from one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors:
• dynamically recalibrate the model in real time based on the new data;
• and
• calculate an updated fluid flow of the fluid flowing through the location of the well based on the recalibrated model.
