[Opm] Problem with injecting field voidage replacement

Thanks again, Kai.
You are right, I was forgetting that WCONINJ would set the target rate and that it's not quite sufficient.
I've tried to minimise the effect of pressure on B_w by reducing the pressure sensitivity but not too much in case I get numerical instabilities.
With your suggestion I get pretty much the same result as you (but not precisely the same). You don't show t=0 for one thing and there's a small difference.
Now if I increase Bw above 1.0 (to 1.02 as desired), I run into convergence issues. Do you get that to work?
With Bw=0.99, the pressure now drops (as indicate in my previous e-mail).
I would really expect a stable answer regardless of Bw.

Hi, Karl,
It looks like there is a possible bug in the OPM implementation which requires some WCONINJE keyword for a injector to make the injector work, even if you have group control upon it. (something we need to investigate it)
Anyway, I could not see big problem with your output data. When INJ is working under group control, it looks like FVIR == FGPR, which means the group control is honored in a good way.
But INJ also has its own injection rate limit 11000 (provided with
WCONINJE) and it works under this limit at the beginning then switch to work under VREP group control later.
When you set B_w == 1.0 in PVTW, due to the existence of compressibility, the final B_w will be slightly different from 1.0 depending the pressure you use.
The FPR is decreasing in the beginning is because the voidage rate you are injecting is smaller than the voidage rate you are producing, (FVIR < FVPR due to existence of the WCONINJE injection rate limit.)
One solution is just increase the rate limit in WCONINJE so that that limit is so high and it will not limit much. The INJ will always work under group VREP control.
I changed the schedule as follows,
```
-- Production control
-- Well Status Control Oil Wat Gas Liq Resv BHP
-- name mode rate rate rate rate rate limit
-- ---- ------ ------ ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
WCONPROD
PROD OPEN LRAT 3* 10000 1* 2000 /
/
-- Injection control
-- Well Fluid Status Control Surf Resv BHP
-- NAME TYPE mode rate rate limit
-- ---- ----- ------ ------- ---- ---- -----
WCONINJE
INJ WATER OPEN RATE 110000 1* 6000 /
/
-- GRO Fluid Control Surf Resv ReInj Voidage GRUP
-- NAME TYPE mode rate rate frac Frac CNTL
-- ---- ----- ------ ------- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
GCONINJE
-- FIELD WATER VREP 3* 1.0 NO /
G1 WATER VREP 3* 1.0 /
/
-- Number and size (days) of timesteps
TSTEP
10*200 /
```
Then the result is
summary.x TUT1G1_SPE9. FPR FVIR FVPR
-- Days dd/mm/yyyy FPR FVIR FVPR
