IKRORW

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

Part of the ENDPOINT_SPECIFIERS keyword family in the OPM Flow parser.

IKRORW defines the scaling parameter for the imbibition relative permeability of oil at the critical water saturation (ISWCR), for all the cells in the model via an array. The ENDSCALE keyword in the RUNSPEC section should be activated to enable end-point scaling and the use of this keyword. In addition, the HYSTER option on the SATOPTS keyword in the RUNSPEC section has to be activated to invoke the Hysteresis option. The SCALECRS keyword in the PROPS section defines the options used in the re-scaling process, the options are two point scaling and three point scaling.

Notes:

The number of entries should correspond to the NX x NY x NZ parameters on the DIMENS keyword in the RUNSPEC section, unless the BOX keyword defines a sub area of the grid, in which case the total number of entries should correspond to the number of cells defined by the BOX statement.

The keyword is terminated by a “/”.

Note this the directional independent version of the keyword used with the end-point scaling option. If directional end-point scaling has been activated then the IKRORWX±, IKRORWY± and IKRORWZ± series of the keywords should be used.

When the IKRORW keyword is present in the input deck then the scaling matches the imbibition relative permeability at the critical saturation of the displacing phase.

If three point scaling option has been selected via the SCALECRS keyword in the PROPS section the critical displacing phase is defined as:

IKRORG

S critical = 1.0 – ISGCR - ISWL

Table 8.56: Critical Displacement Relationships

End-point scaling allows the entered relative permeability functions to be re-scaled based on the saturation end-points allocated to each cell by the ISWL, ISWCR, ISWU, ISGL, ISGCR, ISGU, ISOWCR, and ISOGCR saturation grid arrays for the saturation end-points, In addition end-point scaling may be directional dependent in which case the directional dependent versions of the aforementioned arrays should be used, that is ISWUX, ISWUY and ISWUZ instead of ISWU, There is also the facility to make the directional end-point scaling reversible or non-reversible and if the non-reversible option is selected the non-reversible versions of the aforementioned arrays should be used, that is ISWUX, ISWUX-, ISWUY, ISWUY-, ISWUZ and ISWUZ-, instead of the ISWU keyword.

End-point scaling also allows the entered relative permeability functions to be scale on the relative permeability values using the IKRG, IKRGR, IKRO, IKRORG, IKRORW, IKRW and IKRWR relative permeability grid cell arrays for the relative permeability end-point data. In addition end-point scaling may be directional dependent in which case the directional dependent versions of the aforementioned arrays should be used, that is IKRGX, IKRGY and IKRGZ instead of IKRG, There is also the facility to make the directional end-point scaling reversible or non-reversible and if the non-reversible option is selected the non-reversible versions of the aforementioned arrays should be used, that is IKRGX, IKRGX-, IKRGY, IKRGY-,I KRGZ and IKRGZ-, instead of the IKRG keyword.

Parameters

Example

The first example defines an input box for the whole grid and for layers one to three, for layer one IKRORW is set equal to 0.755, for layer two IKRORW equals 0.775, and for layer three IKRORW equals 0.800.
