Short summary
Accuracy of well inflow modelling in different numerical simulation approaches was compared for a multi-lateral well with laterals of varying diameter. For homogeneous cases, all simulators generally were reasonably close in terms of the total well flow (deviations smaller than 4 %). The distribution of the flow over the different laterals in a well can vary significantly between simulators (> 20 %). In a heterogeneous case with a fault the deviations between the approaches were much larger.
