1. A method for preventing flaring at a facility, comprising:
receiving a plurality of pressure measurements from a sensor;
determining that at least one of the plurality of pressure measurements is greater than a threshold pressure, wherein the threshold pressure corresponds to mitigating a flaring event;
analyzing injection response curves for a plurality of wells to determine a first well for adjusting a back pressure on a reservoir intersected by the first well; and
transmitting an instruction for adjusting the back pressure on the reservoir.
