Detailed Description

The unit sets emplyed in ECLIPSE, in particular the FIELD units, are quite inconsistent. Ideally one should choose units for a set of base quantities like Mass,Time and Length and then derive the units for e.g. pressure and flowrate in a consisten manner. However that is not the case; for instance in the metric system we have:

[Length] = meters [time] = days [mass] = kg

This should give:

[Pressure] = [mass] / ([length] * [time]^2) = kg / (m * days * days)

Instead pressure is given in Bars. When it comes to FIELD units the number of such examples is long.
