Purpose of the GRID section

The Grid section contains the properties used to calculate

pore volume & transmissibility

ECLIPSE uses cell pore volume and transmissibility to

calculate flows from cell to cell

Block-centered vs Corner point: Summary

Block-centered

Cell description is simple

Pre-processor is not required

Geometry data is small

Geologic structures are modelledsimplistically

Pinchouts & unconformities are

difficult to modelIncorrect cell connections

across faults (user must modify

transmissibility)

Corner Point

Cell description can be complex

Pre-processor is required

Geometry data is voluminous

Geologic structures can bemodelled accurately

Pinchouts & unconformities can

be modelled accuratelyLayer contiguity across fault

planes is accurately modelled

Unstructured grids do not have row-column type

organization

ECLIPSE requires this information, so cells are assignedI,J,K values by FloGrid

Unstructured Grid Reading Convention

Inactive Cells

Avoid simulating fluid flow in unimportant cells

ACTNUM explicitly set each cells behaviour

0 indicates the cell is inactive

1 indicates the cell is active

MINPV indicate a minimum pore volume for a cell to be activePINCH indicate a minimum thickness for a cell to be active

ECLIPSE will automatically inactivate any cell with zero pore volume

Note: FloViz & FloGrid are normally defaulted to show active cells only

(Scene | Grid | Show | Inactive cells)

Cell Property Definition Rules

One property per cell (NX*NY*NZ)

Values must be defined for inactive cells too

Explicit values only

ECLIPSE has no facilities for entering data as a function

FloGrid, Office, FloViz have property calculators

Define the property with the pre-processor

Export the property as a text file (*.grdecl) Use the INCLUDE keyword

Cell Property Definition using Petrel

The properties are assigned to each cell during upscaling &

exported to a file

The INCLUDE keyword is used to load the properties from

Petrel:

Local Grid Refinement

Allows high grid resolution in an area of interest while keeping a

low resolution elsewhere.

Typical applications:

Near well pressure changes

Coning and cusping

Condensate dropout

Areas of high well densityFields sharing a common aquifer
