Classification: CPC E  G | IPC E  G

Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving real-time data including wellhead pressure, a new sand measurement, and a new erosion rate for a wellbore;
calibrating 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 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 the pre-determined thresholds includes:
determining two different results for the calibrated sand rate using two different sand saturation levels and an initial erosion coefficient; and
determining one of the two different results of the model is below the pre-determined threshold; and

determining a new sand production rate for the wellbore based on the model.
