Abstract
Multipay fields are often considered to be developed with a single well pattern, which is justified by economical efficiency<br>reasons. Using smart well technologies is now on the highest peak of popularity. Although, such technologies allow<br>intelligent monitoring and control to be performed, the most effective well regimes consideration is a challenging problem by<br>itself. Because of system restrictions (casing diameter, wellhead pressure, infrastructure capabilities), regulating flow from/to<br>one of the branches of such well can reflect on the overall system performance. Considering this, wells regimes should be<br>worked out to give maximum economic efficiency. After the plan is worked out, control could be performed by choking<br>layers with undesirable water/gas production (i.e controlling BHP).
