Reconstruction of missing gas, oil, and water flow-rate data: A unified physics and data-based approach

An incomplete data set of flow rate and pressure is detrimental to reservoir management and operation. It has the potential to increase uncertainty and has the potential to unfavorably affect operational and managerial decisions. Such a data set might transpire because of failure in the flowmeters,...
