ISWL

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

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

ISWL defines the imbibition connate water saturation for all the cells in the model via an array when the end-point scaling option has been invoked via the ENDSCALE in the RUNSPEC section and the hysteresis model option has been activated on the SATOPTS keyword in the RUNSPEC section. The connate water saturation is defined as the minimum water saturation in a two-phase water relative permeability table.

The keyword can be used with all grid types.

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 is the directional independent version of the connate gas saturation array used with the end-point scaling option.

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, and the IKRG, IKRORG, IKRORW and IKRW 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 ISWLX, ISWLY and ISWLZ instead of ISWL. 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 ISWLX, ISWLX-, ISWLY, ISWLY-, ISWLZ and ISWLZ-, instead of the ISWL keyword.

Parameters

Example

--
-- DEFINE GRID BLOCK END-POINT ISWL DATA FOR ALL CELLS (NX x NY x NZ = 300)
--
ISWL
300*0.150 /
The above example defines a constant connate water saturation of 0.15 to all 300 cells in the model as defined by the DIMENS keyword in the RUNSPEC section.
