PBVD

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserSOLUTION

The PBVD keyword defines the bubble-point pressure versus depth tables for each equilibration region that should be used when there is dissolved gas in the model (DISGAS has been activated in the RUNSPEC section) and the EQLOPT1 variable has been set to a positive integer on the EQUIL keyword in the SOLUTION section.

Notes:

The keyword is followed by NTEQUL records as declared on the EQLDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Each table must contain a minimum of two rows and a maximum of NDRXVD rows as declared on the EQLDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Each table is terminated by a “/” and there is no “/” terminator for the keyword.

Alternatively, the dissolved gas-oil ratio versus depth tables may be entered using the RSVD keyword in the SOLUTION section instead of this keyword. See also the RSVD and EQUIL keywords in the SOLUTION section.

Records
Fixed number of records
Variadic
The record accepts a variable number of items

Example

Given NTEQUL equals three and NDRXVD is greater than or equal to two on the EQLDIMS keyword in the RUNSPEC section, then the following example defines the bubble-point versus depth functions.
--

8000.0 3025.0 / PSAT VS DEPTH EQUIL REGN 01

-- ------ ------
3000.0 3200.0
8000.0 3225.0 / PSAT VS DEPTH EQUIL REGN 03
Here three tables are entered and each table is terminated by a “/” and there is no keyword terminating “/”.
