Claim 6:
7. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a processing device, real-time data including wellhead pressure, a new sand measurement, and a new erosion rate for a wellbore;
calibrating, by the processing device, a model including an available reference sand rate for the wellbore based on the wellhead pressure and at least one of the new sand measurement or the new erosion rate of the wellbore;
applying, by the processing device, the model to determine a calibrated sand rate is within a pre-determined threshold, wherein applying the model to determine the calibrated sand rate is within a pre-determined threshold includes:
determining, by the processing device, two different results for the calibrated sand rate using two different sand saturation levels and an initial erosion coefficient and
determining, by the processing device, one of the two different results of the model is below the pre-determined threshold; and

determining, by the processing device, a new sand production rate for the wellbore based on the model.
