TITLE

Specify run title

This enables a run title to be set up, which is included in the Print file headers. The syntax is
rather different from that of other keywords, the line after the TITLE keyword being read
directly.
No quotes or slash characters are required.

The TITLE keyword may be specified more than once in the dataset, and may be changed.
Any changed title will be used in all subsequent Print file headers. In addition to the use of the
TITLE keyword, a primary title is read by the program when the job is submitted, and this
fixed title is output in addition to any specified using the TITLE keyword. The primary title
is normally supplied to the job submission macro.

Example

TITLE
Fifth run in series - increased production rate

DIMENS

This keyword defines the basic size of the simulation grid. It is followed by three integers,

specifying the number of cells in the x, y and z directions respectively. (In the radial case, these

values specify the number of cells in the r, θ and z directions). In the documentation, the

arguments of the DIMENS keyword are frequently referred to as Nx , Ny and Nz, or NDIVIX,

NDIVIY and NDIVIZ.

There is no default. It is an error not to supply the grid dimensions.

When using any discretized matrix option (keyword NMATRIX) including the discretized

gravity drainage model activated by keywords GRAVDRB and NMATOPTS (option

VERTICAL), the minimum value of the number of cells in the X direction is 2.

Example

For a reservoir represented by a 10 x 3 x 4 grid the keyword would be:

OIL

Indicates that the run contains oil

This keyword indicates that a run contains an oil phase. The OIL keyword should be specified
whenever an oil phase exists or could exist.

The OIL keyword is automatically supplied for any compositional mode run.

The keyword OIL takes no arguments.

WATER

Run contains water

This indicates that the run contains water as an active phase, whose saturation can vary.

The keyword has no associated data.

FIELD

Field units are to be used

This indicates that field units are to be used.

Note The default unit convention is METRIC

See "Units" in the "ECLIPSE Technical Description" for further details.

The keyword has no associated data.

UNIFOUT
Indicates that output files are unified

This indicates that output files (for example Restart and Summary files), which may be either

multiple or unified, are to be unified. That is, instead of producing separate Restart and
Summary files for each report step, these files are amalgamated into a single file of each type.

The default is for multiple (non-unified) files.

See "File Handling in ECLIPSE" in the "ECLIPSE Technical Description".

START
Specifies a start date

This keyword specifies the start date of the simulation. (Any report dates entered in the DATES

keyword in the SCHEDULE section must be later than the start date.)

The keyword is followed by the following items of data, denoting the day, month, year and time

of the start of the simulation, terminated with a slash (/).

1 Day

Day of the month (an integer between 1 and 31).

2 Month

Name of the month (JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC).

• For July, the abbreviation JLY is a valid alternative.

3 Year

The year (a 4-figure integer).

4 Time

The time (24 hour, in the format HH:MM:SS.SSSS)

X-direction grid block sizes

This keyword specifies the size of the cells in the X-direction.

The keyword should be followed by one positive real number for every grid block in the current

input box specifying its size in the X-direction.

Grid blocks are ordered with the X axis index cycling fastest, followed by the Y and Z axis

indices. Repeat counts may be used for repeated values (for example 115*208.4). Note that

spaces must not be inserted on either side of the asterisk

• UNITS: METRIC: m, FIELD: ft, LAB: cm, PVT-M: m

BOX
Redefines the current input box

The keyword should be followed by six integers that redefine the current input box. Subsequent

operations using EQUALS, ADD, MULTIPLY and COPY only alter grid blocks within the current

input box. Similarly, data read into an array (for example, using PERMX, PORV or SATNUM)
are

assigned to the grid blocks in the current input box.

The keyword should be followed by the data items described below, terminated with a slash.

1 First block on X axis of the new input box (IX1)

2 Last block on X axis of the new input box (IX2)

3 First block on Y axis of the new input box (JY1)

4 Last block on Y axis of the new input box (JY2)

5 First block on Z axis of the new input box (KZ1)

6 Last block on Z axis of the new input box (KZ2)

The data must satisfy:

1 ≤ IX1 ≤ IX2 ≤ NDIVIX

1 ≤ JY1 ≤ JY2 ≤ NDIVIY

1 ≤ KZ1 ≤ KZ2 ≤ NDIVIZ.

The default cell limits are the current BOX values.

The data should be terminated by with a slash (/).

Note that at the end of each input section (GRID, EDIT, PROPS etc.), the program effectively

supplies an ENDBOX, and resets the input box.

ECLIPSE 300 This keyword may also be used in the RUNSPEC and SUMMARY sections.

See also keywords ADD, COPY, ENDBOX, EQUALS, MULTIPLY, MINVALUE and
MAXVALUE.
