Abstract

A system for determining completion parameters for a wellbore includes a sensor and a computing device. The sensor can be positioned at a surface of a wellbore to detect data prior to finishing a completion stage for the wellbore. The computing device can receive the data, perform a history match for simulation and production using the sensor data and historical data, generate inferred data for completion parameters using the historical data identified during the history match, predict stimulated area and production by inputting the inferred data into a neural network model, determine completion parameters for the wellbore using Bayesian optimization on the stimulated area and production from the neural network model, profit maximization, and output the completion parameters for determining completion decisions for the wellbore.
