TEMP for Norne

[mauriciolmatos]

Good afternoon.

When I load Norne_ATW2013.EGRID in ResInsight and choose to see "Cell Result> Type (Dynamic)> TEMP the result is 15.5ºC of temperature for the entire reservoir. This seems to me wrong because according to reports the temperature in Norne reservoir is in around 100 °C.

I would like to know where I could find this information in NORNE_ATW2013.DATA and Includes and how I could modify it in the current version of OPM.
 
Thank you.

Sorry about the late reply,

The Norne simulation model you refer to (NORNE_ATW2013) is not set up to model heat transfer (thermal simulation not enabled, thermal data not provided). The 15.56 centigrade temperature you're seeing corresponds to the simulator's defaulted standard conditions (60 Fahrenheit). Activating a thermal simulation on Norne will require some effort on your part.

By the way, did you generate the .EGRID file yourself—by running the case through Flow? If so, there really shouldn't be a TEMP vector at all unless you're running with --enable-opm-rst-file=true.

Hi again. Sorry about the prolonged silence.

I asked

You replied:

I see. Did you use a specific version of OPM Flow (e.g., a particular public release) or did you compile the master sources? Did you pass any additional flags/options to Flow when you started the simulation (e.g, the aforementioned --enable-opm-rst-file=true)?

The reason I ask is that that current public release (designation 2019.04) and especially the current master sources from GitHub is not supposed to output the TEMP vector at all unless at least one of the following two conditions holds

• The model includes thermal effects (typically activated by the THERMAL keyword in the .DATA file)

• The user requested OPM Flow's extended set of report vectors by passing --enable-opm-rst-file=true on the command line (or in a parameter file).

If neither of those conditions hold in your case, and if you're using fairly recent sources of Flow, then that suggests that there is a serious flaw in the output code and I would very much like to know about it.
