How to switch between injection well to production well (time dependent)

Hi, Everyone,

 

I am a PhD student. I need some urgent help in the TOUGH2. I wan to switch the well properties between the injection well and the production well during the simulation. I know there is a table to control the well properties. I  have no idea how to realize this function. Can anyone help me ? Thanks. This is really important to me. I really appreciate your time in reading this post.

    Yes, use the time dependent generation/injection rate in GENER to switch from injection to production. Use two sink/sources in the same element, one for the (positive) injection at certain times (using COMx to identify which component x you want to inject). When the injection goes to zero, make the second sink/source active by specifying a (negative) MASS flow rate. Just make sure the tables with LTAB entries you specify has zero rates for one sink/source while the other is non-zero.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Stefen,

    Regarding your answer to the same question, should the name (SL,NS) of those two source and sink be unique? Can it be same name?

    Thanks,

    Amol

    Frankly, I'm not sure (my guess is it does not matter). It's certainly a good idea to keep (SL,NS) unique (their only purpose is to label sinks/sources). Why not just try it both ways and see what happens? Then let everybody know what you find.

    Hi Stefan,

    Thanks for quick reply! 
    I am using Tough3 and tried sample problem of Five-spot (rfp-EOS1) with same as well as different sink/source name. And I found that there is no difference in the result. However, when tried with same sink/source name and GOFT is specified then it shows the result (in GOFT***.CSV file) of first entry in the GENER, which is quite convincing to me.

    I also found that, when I change the order of the sink/source in GENER there is a very slight/negligible change in the output, I am not sure if this is supposed to be happened.

    All results and INPUT files are attached here in case if anyone is interested.

    Thanks,
    Amol
