WMICP

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserSCHEDULE

The WMICP keyword defines a water injection well's microbial, growth, and cementation injection stream solutions, where the rate-limiting components are suspended microbes, oxygen, and urea concentrations respectively. These concentrations are used when the MICP keyword in the RUNSPEC section has been used to activate OPM Flow’s Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation model.

Note the keyword should only be used for wells declared as water injection wells via the WCONINJE keyword in the SCHEDULE section.

Note

This is an OPM Flow specific keyword.

Notes:

The keyword is followed by any number of records with each record terminated by a “/” and the keyword should be terminated by a “/”.

Water injection wells that are not declared via this keyword have their concentrations defaulted to zero.
