2. Run calculations
3. Graphs, Totals
4. Group – FIELD
5. Tick parameters: Oil total, Oil Total (H), Water Total, Water Total (H), Liquid Total, Liquid total (H)
Run calculations

Liquid calculated and historical is matched (wells are

on LRAT control)

2. Fluid Properties. RP Water-Oil
3. Hold Shift and move RP point as you like with left mouse button (the table on the right is
updated automatically)

New RP

 Recalculate your model 6

1. Press Run and see how Oil and Water Total are changing
2. The history matching is worse! Press Stop and let’s try another RP variant

Run and Stop buttons

 RP are saved in USER-file automatically 7

1. USER folder is created in the folder with your model

2. SWOF keyword is written automatically according you RP modification
3. Your initial SWOF is not modified!! SWOF in USER-file is read when you open your model
now
4. If you don’t like the new SWOF you can delete the file in USER folder

7
 Editing relative permeabilities: variant 2 8

1. Perform a second modification of RP in the opposite direction like shown below

2. Press Run and see how Oil and Water Totals are changing. History Matching is much better
now!!

 Convert RP to Corey correlation 9

1. Reload the model (to edit it again)

2. Document. Approximate RP. Convert RP to Corey correlations
3. See the curves (dotted line – your RP, continuous line – RP after conversion to Corey)
4. Change some values (SWL, SWCR, …) if you need
5. Press Create Corey keywords – COREYWO keyword will be written in USER-file (and
COREYGO in case of 3-phase model ). Tick in Approximate Capillary Pressure (look at
COREYWO keyword), otherwise capillary pressure will be taken from the table set.

 How to Edit MULTX MULTY MULTZ
How to edit
MULTX,
MULTY, MULTZ
Edit MULTX in any 3D area
selected via mouse click
Assign MULTX value to each
well (any numbers 3,5,6, …),
interpolate to whole 3D
property and get smoothed
MULTX 3D property
11
1. We will Use tNavigator Calculator to
create MULTX, MULTY, MULTZ properties
2. Your can include a new property to your
model .data-file
3. The MULT data can be edited in 3D and
various 2D projections. The main idea is
simple – you can change properties in any
grid blocks that you can see on the screen
4. Any 3D property can be edited via User
Maps and User Cuts the same way as
MULT
5. Any new 3D property can be created via
User Maps and User Cuts and then
included to model
11
 Editing MULTX: open Property Editor
1. User Maps, Map
2. Right mouse click, select Edit
3. Block
4. Expression - type MULTX or press on Initial Maps. Trans. Mult along X in the assistance
dialogue
5. Apply. Now we have current 3D MULTX property on the screen

12
 Editing MULTX: BLOCK
1. Expression - type MULTX *5 or use calculator buttons (type number or an expression)
2. Set BLOCK ranges manually (X-range, Y-range, and Z-range). Apply
OR
3. Click the left top grid block and then the right bottom grid block of the 3D view. If Apply on
mouse click on map is checked the specified value (Expression) will be assigned to the 3D
property portion between the corner blocks, and the coordinates will be displayed in the X-range,
Y-range, and Z-range boxes. You can use those boxes to monitor and, possibly, edit the size of
the Block (the z-range, for instance)

Selected block

13
 Editing MULTX: Cylinder
1. Expression - type MULTX* 3 or use buttons in calculator
2. Set Cylinder radius
3. Set Cylinder center manually (X, Y, Z). Apply
OR
3. Click on the grid block - the center of Cylinder. If Apply on mouse click on map is checked the
specified value (Expression) will be assigned to the cylinder with specified center, radius and range
along direction (All layers in Z-direction on the picture )

Cylinder center

Smoothing (slider-controlled). If no smoothing is

assigned (the slider in the leftmost position), the
Expression will be assigned to all the blocks
within the cylinder without changes. If some
smoothing, other than zero, is assigned, the
Expression will be assigned to the cylinder center
block, and the values in the other blocks will be
smoothed towards the values in the cylinder’s
boundary blocks (points)

14
 Editing MULTX: Create a profile
Create a profile to edit properties inside or outside it (or just in profile blocks)
1. Close Property Editing dialogue
2. Press Create profile
3. Do left mouse clicks on the view to create a profile
4. OK

Select any area you like

Create a profile

15
 Editing MULTX: Edit properties inside a profile
1. User Maps, Map. RMB click, select Edit
2. Profile
3. Type any expression you like (multx*2 on the picture)
4. Tick Apply for Profile Blocks and Apply for Profile Inside
5. Apply

An Expression is applied
to selected area inside
the profile

16
 Editing MULTX: Region brush
1. Switch from 3D to 2D (Avg for example)
2. Select Region brush in Property Editing
3. Type Value to assign to grid blocks (3 on the picture)
4. Select Radius of the brush
5. Paint any area you like. A Value will be assigned to grid blocks inside this area
6. Enjoy painting!

Painted region
with Value 3

17
 Editing MULTX: Smoothing
1. Select Smoothing in Property Editing
2. Type Step Count (the number of operations of Smoothing for one Apply)
3. Press Apply Several times to get the smoothed 3D property

Smoothed map

18
 Editing MULTX: Export MULTX property
1. Map. Export
2. Save 3D. Enter keyword name – MULTX for example
3. Export
4. The file with this keyword and values of the Map in each grid block is saved

Text file with MULTX

19
 Load file with MULTX
1. You can load a new property instead of the initial MULTX property
2. Attention! This new MULTX is just for current calculations! It is not saved in the model.
Use INCLUDE keyword in .data-file to include this property to model (see the next frame)
3. Initial Properties. Trans. Mult. Along X
4. Right mouse click. Load (select the file that you exported)
5. Run calculations with this MULTX

20
 Include MULTX in your model
To use the new view you can include it to the model via INCLUDE keyword:
1. In GRID section
2. INCLUDE the file with MULTX keyword (.map file)
3. You can use the keyword ARITHMETIC to specify new MULTY and MULTZ (in this example
MULTY=MULTX, MULTZ= MULTX/10)

21
 MULTX via kriging

1. In this example we assign MULTX value to each well (any numbers 3,5,6, …)
2. Interpolate these values to whole visualization (multilayer kriging interpolation)
3. Get the smoothed MULTX - export it and INCLUDE to model .data file

22
 Create new Map1
1. User Maps. Map
2. Right mouse click on the view. Create – Map1 is created
3. Type 1 in Arithmetic command line
4. Apply
5. Value 1 is assigned to all grid blocks

23
 Assign MULTX values to wells
1. On 2D or 3D (2D is better to select the well easily)
2. Right mouse click on Map1. Edit
3. Wells in Property Editing
4. Expression – type a number (5,3,7, …) MULTX you want to assign to this well (for all blocks
with well’s connections)
5. Click on the well on the view– it will be shown in Well Mask box
6. Apply
7. Value Expression is assigned to all blocks with well’s connections
8. Enter another value in Expression and click another well. Repeat it for all wells you need

24
 Create MULTX via Kriging
1. Switch to Interpolation
2. Default value – 1. Multilayer Kriging
3. Select layer number (3 on the picture)
4. Press Recompute variogram. Press Apply – Kriging is proceeded
5. The values assigned to wells are interpolated to whole 3D grid (The values in well connections
are not modified – tick Do not change source block values)

Export this property as

MULTX and INCLUDE to
your model (frames 19-21)

 User Cuts – Grid Properties 27

We can select the blocks with initial or calculated parameter value in any range
1. User Cuts. Cut, right click on Cut. Edit
2. Grid properties.
3. Choose any property (Calculated Properties. Saturation of oil on the picture)
4. Set ranges From - To. Apply
5. Red color – Cut is satisfied (Value of SOIL in these blocks is inside selected ranges) (value 1
is assigned to this blocks), Blue color – Cut isn’t satisfied (value 0 is assigned to this blocks)

27
 Use Cut for visualization 28

1. Tick Use Cut

2. We see only blocks for which Cut is true
3. Switch between any Properties (Initial Properties, Calculated Properties, Fluid in
Place)

28
 Editing properties via Arithmetic 29

1. Go to User Maps, create Map2

2. Right mouse click on Map2, select Edit
3. Arithmetics, in the Box line type the filter condition cut>0
4. in the Expression type in the value multx (or 0.1 or any other value), press Apply
5. The value Expression will be assigned to grid blocks for which cut is true (cut>0)

An expression multx is applied to the blocks where Cut is satisfied
