Abstract

A system that is usable with a subterranean well includes a pressure sensor and a unit. The pressure sensor is adapted to obtain pressure measurements along at least a portion of the well while the well is in production without requiring an intervention in the well. The unit is coupled to the pressure sensor and is adapted to provide a model and estimate an inflow profile of the well in response to the pressure measurements. In some embodiments of the invention, the well may be a horizontal well. Furthermore, the unit may be adapted, in some embodiments of the invention, to further base the estimation of the inflow profile on temperature measurements taken inside the well.
