My first reservoir simulation

Plotting well curves

The results of the simulation can be viewed with several different tools, but we will here use the tool-chain that has the fewest dependencies.

First, we will examine which variables we can view using the ecl_summary tool from libecl, which should already be installed since libecl is needed by Flow. (Note: if you installed libecl from source, the program is called summary.x and will be located in your build directory.) By typing

ecl_summary --list SPE1CASE1.DATA

we get a list of the different variables that are available:

 

screen_ecl_summary_spe1

Some of the more interesting ones are:

  • WBHP:INJ – Bottom hole pressure of INJ well
  • WGIR:INJ – Gas injection rate of INJ well
  • WBHP:PROD – Bottom hole pressure of PROD well
  • WOPR:PROD – Oil production rate of PROD well
  • WGPR:PROD – Gas production rate of PROD well

To manually inspect the values you can also use the same tool, for example:

ecl_summary SPE1CASE1.DATA WBHP:INJ
