RTEMPA

Variant 1 — PROPS section

This keyword defines the initial reservoir temperature for the model. Note that the RTEMPA keyword is an alias for RTEMP, and that both keywords are supported by OPM Flow, in both the PROPS and SOLUTION sections, but are treated as being mutually exclusive.

The initial reservoir temperature must be defined when OPM Flow’s thermal option has been activated by the THERMAL keyword in the RUNSPEC section. Note this is different to the commercial simulator that uses the TEMP keyword in the RUNSPEC section to activate the black-oil temperature model, and the THERMAL keyword to activate the compositional thermal model.

The initial reservoir temperature should be defined when OPM Flow’s CO2 or H2 storage option has been activated by the CO2STORE or H2STORE keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

Notes:

The keyword is terminated by a “/”.

See also the RTEMPVD keyword in SOLUTION section to define the reservoir temperature as a function of depth.

Variant 2 — SOLUTION section

This keyword defines the initial reservoir temperature for the model. Note that the RTEMPA keyword is an alias for RTEMP, and that both keywords are supported by OPM Flow, in both the PROPS and SOLUTION sections, but are treated as being mutually exclusive.
