The simulator calculates the initial equilibrium state of the reservoir and defines the the pressure and saturations in each grid cell. For a reservoir with multi-phase fluid, the vertical pressure and saturation gradient can be determined from the contact depths, together with the capillary pressure at these depths.
The Volve field simulation directory has ECLIPSE and CMG simulation software input files. In this article, we'll describe the first part of the ECLIPSE simulation model (VOLVE_2016_EXPAND.DATA) which includes an overview on the simulation run specifications [RUNSPEC] They build the Volve simulation Model on 680 x 400 total cells with runs distributed on a machine with 4 parallel cores. It simulates a black oil fluids model, starting from 31 Dec 2007, using the 6 production wells and 2 injection wells.
