WTEMP

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserSCHEDULE

The WTEMP keyword defines the temperature of the injection fluid being injected by an injection well.

This keyword can only be used if 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 thermal model.

Notes:

Injection wells that are not declared via this keyword have their injection fluid temperatures set to zero degrees in the run’s units.

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

See also the GCONINJE keyword to define a group’s injection targets and constraints, and the WCONINJE keyword to define an injection well’s targets and constraints. All the aforementioned keywords are described in the SCHEDULE section.

manual: WELNAME
A character string of up to eight characters in length that defines the well name for an injection well for which the injection well fluid’s temperature data is being defined. Note that the well name (WELNAME) must have been declared previously using the WELSPECS keyword in the SCHEDULE section, otherwise an error may occur.STRINGNone

Example

The following example defines the injected fluid temperatures for three water injection wells for when the thermal option has been activated by the THERMAL keyword in the RUNSPEC section.
