# Development of a Digital Well Management System
## 4 Discussion  
A modern digital automated system for managing and optimizing the operation of the fund of oil-producing wells has been developed. The automated control system is a comprehensive software product that provides the functions of continuous monitoring and control of the parameters of the operation of an oil well and auxiliary technological equipment. Algorithms for optimizing energy consumption, presented in Section 2.1.3, ensuring the flow rate of wells within the reservoir potential and deep-pumping equipment are being implemented. The development of deviations in the operation of the equipment is predicted and the causes of the event are eliminated through the use on machine learning. The work of all the developed modules consists in analyzing the parameters of the well operation, numerical modeling of production processes, determining the optimal operating mode and bringing the parameters of the well operation to the optimal mode. \begin{table}

Considering the developed ACS in the context of the current state of oil production, several important observations can be made. The ACS software part is designed so that its operation is possible on various models of technological processes. As a result, the authors can argue that the process of adapting ACS operation to various configurations of technological equipment is not a problem during operation, but depends only on the user's ability to describe technological processes. The main purpose of ACS is to assist in decision-making by continuously monitoring the parameters of the well operation, automatically identifying the causes of equipment failure and providing this analysis to engineering and technical personnel. Due to the acceleration of decision-making, a reduction in the cost of emergency stops and repairs of equipment is achieved. The presented ACS has the ability to work in the modes \"Advisor\" and automatic mode. In the \"Advisor\" mode, the ACS only issues advisory messages, and in the \"automatic\" mode, it can independently choose one or another way to solve a problem when it occurs. The advantage of the \"Advisor\" mode is the confirmation of all actions by a specialist, and the automatic mode--the ability to continuously optimize the work of the well, regardless of the state, experience and presence of the system operator. The automated control system makes it possible to improve the quality and speed of decision-making in the event of deviations in the operation of pumping equipment operated in complicated conditions. The implemented functions make it possible to eliminate the causes of deviations in automatic mode, which helps to reduce the labor costs of engineering and technological personnel for collecting and analyzing information. The human factor in the decision-making process is minimized. Reduction of specific energy consumption during pumping operation of producing wells by up to 10% is provided. The disadvantages of the presented system are the metal and science intensity of production, the need for verification and development of many methods for effective application.
