Well Groups view

The Well Groups view is used to define well group information like production rates, injection rates, sales, and consumption rates. This view can only be opened via the Case Explorer; expand the case of interest and double-click the Well Groups item to open the view.

Well Groups tab

The Well Groups tab allows you to define the name of the groups in the simulation and indicate if these groups are active.

Group Trees tab

The Group Trees tab is used to configure the well groups by defining the parent/child relationships.

Date/Time  Simulation time at which parent/child relationship is defined.

Child Group  Name of child well group.

Parent Group  Name of parent well group.

Group Production Rates tab

The Group Production Rates tab defines constraints for the well groups containing production wells.

Date/Time  Simulation time at which parent/child relationship is defined.

Group  Name of the well group.

Control  One of NONE, ORAT, WRAT, GRAT, LRAT, RESV, PRBL, WGRA, CVAL, FLD.

QOIL  Oil production target or upper limit.

QWAT  Water production target or upper limit.

QGAS  Gas production target or upper limit.

QLIQ  Liquid production target or upper limit.

Procedure  Action to take on exceeding maximum rate limit.  One of NONE, CON, +CON, WELL, PLUG, RATE.

Free  If checked, group is free to respond to higher level production rate target.

Group Injection Rates tab

The Group Injection Rates tab defines constraints for well groups containing injectors.

Date/Time  Simulation time at which parent/child relationship is defined.

Group  Name of the well group.

Phase  One of WATER, GAS, OIL.

Control  One of NONE, RATE, RESV, REIN, VREP, WGRA, FLD.

Qstd  Surface injection rate target or upper limit.

Qres  Total reservoir volume injection target or upper limit.

Reinjection  Reinjection fraction target or upper limit.

Voidage  Total voidage replacement target or upper limit.

Free  If checked, group is free to respond to higher level injection rate target.

Group Economic Limit tab

The Group Economic Limit tab defines economic limit data for groups and the field.

Date/Time  Simulation time at which parent/child relationship is defined.

Group  Name of the well group.

Min QOIL  Minimum oil production rate.

Min QGAS  Minimum gas production rate

Max WCUT  Maximum group or field water cut

Max GOR  Maximum group or field gas/oil ratio

Max WGR  Maximum group or field water/gas ratio.

Procedure  Workover procedure.  One of NONE, CON + CON,WELL, PLUG, ALL.

End Run?  Simulation run is ended if all well in group are shut in.

Max Open Wells  Maximum number of open wells subordinate to this group.

Group Production Gas Sales tab

The Group Production Gas Sales tab defines sales gas production controls for fields or groups.

Date/Time  Simulation time at which parent/child relationship is defined.

Group  Name of the well group.

QGAS  Sales gas production rate target.

Max QGAS  Maximum sales gas production rate.

Min QGAS  Minimum sales gas production rate.

Procedure  Action on exceeding maximum rate. One of NONE, CON, +CON, WELL, PLUG, RATE, MAXR, END.

Group Gas Consumption Rates tab

The Group Gas Consumption Rates tab defines gas consumption and import rates for well groups.

Import QGAS  Gas import rate for group.

Consumption QGAS  Gas consumption rate for groupConsumption Fraction

Consumption Fraction  Fraction of total production that is consumed.
