[Opm] Problem with WELDIMS

[Stephen, Karl D]

Hi,
Has the usage of WELDIMS changed in the recent version of flow?

I have a simple quarter 5 spot model where injector, "INJ", is placed on one corner and producer "PROD" on the other of a square model (5 x 5 x 3 cells).
PROD is added to group G1 and INJ is added to group G2 in WELLSPECS. Both wells are completed vertically over the three layers.

I would expect WELLDIMS to be set up as:

-- Maximum well/connection/group values
--     #wells  #cons/w  #grps  #wells/grp
--     ------  -------  -----  ----------
WELLDIMS
         2       3         2       1  /

When WELLSPECS and COMPDAT are:
-- Location of wellhead and pressure gauge
--      Well  Well   Location   BHP    Pref.
--      name  group   I    J   datum   phase
--     -----  ----    -    -   -----   -----
WELSPECS
        PROD   G1     1    1    8000    OIL  /
        INJ    G2     5    5    8000    WATER /
/
-- Completion interval
--      Well   Location  Interval  Status           Well
--      name    I    J    K1  K2   O or S            ID
--      ----    -    -    --  --   ------          ------
COMPDAT
        PROD    1    1     1   3      OPEN     2*      0.667  /
       INJ     5    5     1   3      OPEN     2*      0.667  /
/



This is what worked in the previous version of flow that I ran (18.10) and in ECLIPSE. I still have 18.10 installed on a virtual machine.


Now I get the error message:
Error: Run uses maximum group size of 2, but allocates at most 1 in RUNSPEC section.  Increase item 4 of WELLDIMS accordingly.
Failed to create valid EclipseState object.
Exception caught: RUNSPEC_GROUPSIZE_TOO_LARGE: Run uses maximum group size of 2, but allocates at most 1 in RUNSPEC section.  Increase item 4 of WELLDIMS accordingly.

All is fine if I set the fourth item of WELDIMS to 2 for the number of groups but it should be possible to set it to 1 as there is one well per group.

Is this a bug? The latest manual for 19.10 states that the 4th item is the "maximum number of wells that can belong to a group".

It seems as if MXGRPS and MXGRPW are being confused?

Regards,
Karl
