1. A method comprising:
receiving sensor data from at least one of a distributed fiber optic sensing line positioned along a wellbore and a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors comprising one or more subsurface sensors and one or more surface sensors;
generating a matrix of controlled flow conditions, the controlled flow conditions comprising flow contributions of each zone of a plurality of zones of the wellbore;
identifying flow characteristics of each zone of the plurality of zones of the wellbore based on the matrix of controlled flow conditions;
generating flow models based on the sensor data and the flow characteristics of each zone of the plurality of zones of the wellbore;
generating flow profiles based on the flow models and the sensor data;
controlling a zonal flow control device to generate zonal flow conditions based on the flow profiles;
determining whether the flow profiles are within a target range;
identifying a set point option based on the determining whether the flow profiles are within the target range;
adjusting the zonal flow control device automatically based on the identified set point option; and
iteratively adjusting one or more set points of the zonal flow control device in one or more zones of the wellbore until a difference between a first parameter associated with an iteration and a second parameter associated with the iteration reaches or is below a threshold, wherein the first parameter comprises a measurement of the sensor data and the second parameter comprises a calculated parameter, and wherein the iterative adjustments are based on:
a determination that a production profile corresponds to a production target, and measuring, at each iteration, well data associated with the wellbore.
