Wells

The UTCHEM interface currently allows four types of vertical wells. They include:

1. Rate constrained injection well

2. Pressure constrained injection well

3. Rate constrained production well

4. Pressure constrained production well

Steps for creating a well are as follows:

1. Choose the New or Copy button.

2. Specify a name.

3. Choose a well type

4. Enter the I cell coordinate into the Row field and the J cell coordinate into the Column field.

5. Enter the beginning and ending K cell coordinates of the well screen into the Starting Layer and Ending layer fields.

6. Enter a well Radius.

7. Enter a Skin Factor

8. Enter Phase Flow, Concentrations and Pressure values according to the well Type.

Both Injection well types require you to enter a flow for each phase and a concentration for each species within that phase, whereas the Production Wells only require a single flow or pressure value.

Flow and concentration values can only change at the beginning of a new injection period. The number and duration of injection periods can be entered through the Time Options/Injection Periods dialog.
