[Opm] Error with upscale_relpermvisc

[Bård Skaflestad]

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.  The first problem is *probably* that the diagnostic message is incomplete.  For what it's worth, the upscale_relpermvisc utility looks for the following input data:

* SPECGRID
* COORD
* ZCORN
* PORO
* PERMX
* SATNUM

If you're comfortable looking at C++ source code, you can review the keyword existence check on lines 351--356 of upscale_relpermvisc.cpp (GitHub URL: https://github.com/OPM/opm-upscaling/blob/78bf78a8373f59d5d3d0394a0d8de12e822c9c5a/examples/upscale_relpermvisc.cpp#L351-L356)

At minimum the diagnostic message should mention PORO, PERMX, and SATNUM too, but ideally we should only identify the requisite input data that's actually missing.  Maybe your case is missing SATNUM?  In that case you can insert

SATNUM
N*1 /

with 'N' being the product of the grid dimensions instead.  That is still a little superfluous however, because the upscale_relpermvisc utility will use that definition as a fallback if it's not actually present in the input file.

Please let us know if you get any further if your input file provides porosity, permeability and saturation region information.

Hi

I have created a .grdecl file which was successfully upscaled using upscale_perm.  However, when I use the same file in upscale_relpermvisc, I get the following error message:

Error: Did not find SPECGRID, COORD and ZCORN in ECLIPSE file facies_2a.grdecl

I checked the .grdecl file and it contains these keywords so not sure what the issue is.

Best regards
