Claim One:
1. A method for managing a multilateral physical snaky well using an inflow performance relationship (IPR) and hydraulic fracturing work, comprising: acquiring an operating surface facilities pressure and one or more physical parameters from the multilateral physical snaky well including at least a well bottom-hole pressure, a gas-to-oil ratio, and a liquid in-flow rate; determining a grid model from a plurality of grid models for the multilateral physical snaky well; simulating a plurality of well geometries for the determined grid model, the plurality of well geometries including a horizontal well, and a plurality of snaky lateral wells having different numbers of undulations and multiple orientations; performing sensitivity analysis to determine an impact of a plurality of snaky well parameters on the IPR of the multilateral physical snaky well; performing regression analysis based on the sensitivity analysis to determine Vogel based quadratic coefficient that estimates the IPR of the multilateral physical snaky well; computing by circuitry, a transformation of the plurality of snaky well parameters to provide transformed parameters and determining a sum of squared errors of the plurality of snaky well parameters; computing by circuitry, the IPR based on a linear weighting of the transformed parameters; predicting a performance of the multilateral physical snaky well based on the IPR and the one or more physical parameters; identifying a permeability in which a production amount is increased based on the operating surface facilities pressure and the predicted performance; and adjusting a permeability of a plurality of laterals of the multilateral physical snaky well using hydraulic fracturing work on the multilateral physical snaky well to match the identified permeability.
