SALINITY

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserPROPS

The SALINITY keyword defines a uniform salinity for all cells in the model. The keyword should only be used with OPM Flow’s CO2-Brine model which is activated via the CO2STORE keyword in the RUNSPEC section. This keyword is a compositional keyword in the commercial simulator but has been implemented in OPM Flow’s black-oil CO2-Brine model.

Notes:

The keyword is terminated by a “/”.

See also the CO2STORE keyword in the RUNSPEC section.

manual: SALINITY
A real positive value that defines the salinity for all grid blocks in the model for when the CO2-Brine model has been activated. Note that the units for salinity are molality, that is gm-M/Kg, and therefore the units are defined as given below with the 10-3 prefix.DOUBLE10-3 x lb-M/lb10-3 x kg-M/kg10-3 x gm-M/gm

Example

The example sets the salt salinity for all cells in the model to 0.001 lb-M/Ib.

-- SET SALINITY FOR ALL CELLS (OPM FLOW KEYWORD)

SALINITY
1.0 /
Note that units for salinity are to the 10-3, that is a value of 0.001 lb-M/lb should be entered as 1.0 (10-3 x lb-M/lb), as per the example.
