A Summary Plot is a window displaying a graph in the main area of the Plot Main Window. As described below, a Summary Plot can contain Summary Curves, Grid time history curves, and pasted ascii curves.
A new Summary Plot can be created by using the right-click menu of Summary Plots in the Plot Project Tree and activate
Open Summary Plot Editor or
New Summary Plot.
If you have many open plots, it can be useful to collapse all other plots by activating Collapse Other Plots from right-click menu of a plot in the Plot Project Tree.
ResInsight can create summary plots based on vectors from SUMMARY files ( *.SMSPEC
), imported Observed Time History Data, Grid Cell Time history Curve, and pasted ascii curves.
When opening an Eclipse case in the 3D view, the associated summary file is opened automatically by default and made available as a Summary Case. Summary files can also be imported directly using one of the following commands in the File->Import->Summary Cases menu:
These commands can also be accessed in the right-click menu for the Summary Cases entry in the Plot Project Tree. Notably, the right-click menu also allows creating a delta ensemble and delta summary case.
During summary file import, ResInsight checks whether the summary file is restarted, i.e. has an origin file. If an origin file is found, the Origin Files dialog is displayed.
A selection of cases can be grouped by right-clicking a selection of summary cases and selecting the command Group Summary Cases. Summary cases can also be drag-dropped between summary groups. The groups will be used when listing the cases in the Summary Plot Editor.
A Delta Summary Case can be created as either the sum or difference between two existing summary cases. To create a delta summary case, select two existing summary cases in Plot Project tree, then right click and select New Delta Summary Case. A new delta ensemble is created with the two selected summary cases as input and a default arithmetic operator. An existing delta summary case may be input to a new delta summary case.
The Property Editor for the new delta summary case allows to modify display name, the two base summary cases, and the arithmetic operator. In addition, it is possible to specify a specific time step to be used in delta computation. As an example according to the settings in the figure below, the delta computation between two cases for a given parameter, e.g. WBHP, will be: $$WBHP_{delta}(t) = WBHP_{case1}(@02.01.2000) - WBHP_{case2}(t)$$
A summary case can be replaced by right-clicking on it and selecting the command Replace. This will redisplay all configured plots with data from the newly imported case.
See Observed Time History Data
Time history curves from a grid cell property can also be added to a Summary Plot. See Result Inspection.
You can copy an ascii table directly from Excel or any text source and paste it directly into a Summary Plot using the command Paste Excel Data to Summary Plot. See Paste Excel Time History Data.
Summary plots are created in the Plot Project Tree by right-clicking Summary Plots and selecting
Open Summary Plot Editor or
New Summary Plot.
Having created a Summary Plot, its entry is listed in the Plot Project Tree.
The settings of the Plot are controlled by its sub items in the Plot Project Tree and the Property Editor as described below.
The Property Editor allows Text-Based Curve Creation based on selected sources and setting General Plot Options.
Text-Based Curve Creation allows specification of a list of vectors for plotting based on selected sources.
The vectors to plot are specified by the following syntax:
<vectorshortname>[:<item>[:<subitem>[:i,j,k]]]
.
The specification of vectors allows use of wildcards and multiple entries separated by space:
WOPT:*
: One total oil production curve for each well.FOPT FWPT
: Two curves with oil and water total production.BPR:15,28,*
: Oil phase pressure for all blocks along k as separate curves.General Plot Options allows the following settings:
Summary curves will be highlighted when left-clicked in a plot. This allows for detailed investigation on curve values when many curves are plotted. All other curves can be hidden by activating the right-click menu of a plot, and select On - Others Off
Right-clicking a plot and selecting Show Plot Data will open a window containing the plot data as text columns. This dialog supports plot data displayed by day, week, month, quarter, half year and year.
The text content of this window is easy to copy and paste into Excel or other tools for further processing. It is also possible to save the text data to a file directly by using the right-click command Export Plot Data to Text File.
Selecting a specific Summary Curve is possible via the Plot Project Tree.
Having selected a Summary Curve, its properties are shown by the Property Editor.
As seen, the Property Editor organizes the available options into the following groups:
This group of options is used to define summary vector data that the curve will display.
Selection of vector is performed using a vector acronym or pressing the button to the right. Pressing the button opens a dialog similar to the Summary Plot Editor.
Switching the Y-Axis for several curves in one go can be done using the right-click command Switch Plot Axis.
The user can control the curve name used in the plot legend by the following options:
Copy and Paste of selections of Summary Plots and Curves, is possible using the Project Tree right-click menu and standard keyboard shortcuts (CTRL-C/CTRL-V).
When using the standard file selection dialog, the user is limited to select files in one directory only. If the interesting files are distributed over multiple directories, the dialog has to be opened once for each directory. The recursive file selection dialog is created to circumvent this limitation. This dialog is able to search a directory tree for files matching a specified pattern.
The dialog consists of the following fields:
After pressing the Find button, a file search is performed in the root directory and the directories below matching the path pattern. The files found are presented in a list, where the user can check/uncheck each file individually.
When the OK button is pressed, all checked files are imported.
During summary file import, ResInsight checks whether the summary file is restarted, i.e. has an origin file. If an origin file is found, the Origin Files dialog is displayed.
Depending on what triggered the summary file import, the dialog shows slightly different information. If the summary file import was triggered by a grid file import, the dialog displays information about grid files in addition to the summary origin file(s). If the summary file was imported directly, information about grid files are not relevant and thus not displayed.
The dialog contents are organized in groups:
By default the file names are displayed using relative path based on the common root folder for all files. In order to display the full path, check the Show full paths checkbox. Regardless of the checkbox state, there is always a tooltip showing the full path for every file. It is also possible to copy a full path file name to the clipboard. Right click on the file name and select Copy file name.
If the user selected multiple summary files or grid files, this dialog will be displayed for every file that has an origin summary file. In this case the button OK to All appears. When this button is clicked, the rest of the files will be imported silently using the same options.
