EOS3-sink/source rates are piecewise constant, how to set up?
As mentioned in the title, I want to set the piecewise constant sink/source rate as shown in the attached figure, but I can't achieve the desired result after setting it many times in petrasim, can anyone give me some help, I am very eager to know how to set this step?Thank you very much!

Dear Chu,
if you want to use the Wells option in Petrasim, you need to assign the variable production and injection schedule in the Wells/flow window by assigning times-rates for the production and time-rates-enthalpy for the injection periods :
- production \ mass out \ Rate = Table : assign time-rates schedule
- injection \ water/steam \ Rate = table : assign time-rate-enthalpy schedule.
In order to exactly reproduce your production/injection schedule, it is better to use the Rigorous step option under "solution control\options\MOP(12)".
In addition, better to set optional printout at the times corresponding to rate changes. In this way there will be no interpolation during time steps including a rate change.
You can view the results under Results\Well plots, where you will find 1 sink (MASS) and 1 source (COM1). Results are saved in file GOFT. Of course you have to request the printout under Wells\print options.
Take the attached Petrasim file as an example of the above choices (Petrasim 2020.2.1222 x64).

Alfredo

Dear Alfredo.
I am very sorry to disturb you again, according to your instructions I set a set of parameters that I need to simulate to inject air and produce air at a rate of 0.6kg/s. During the injection phase, the calculation went very well. However, unfortunately, when I set the production, Petrasim started reporting errors soon after the calculation, also I was producing at 0.6kg/s, but when I changed the production rate to 0.1kg/s, the calculation worked fine, I would like to know why this is, the volume of the well unit in my model is 0.1m x 0.1m x 3m. Is it because the volume of the well unit is too small? To be honest, I don't really understand the use of this production function.I regret your sim file version is high I can not open, attached is a set of parameters I set, I sincerely hope to get your advice.
I am very eager to your reply!
Thank you and best regards,
Chu

With the info supplied I cannot help you.
Looking at the output file and in particular to the history of well blocks, you can easily check if the P drops to too low values during production. The fact that the simulation proceeds with a lower extraction rate confirms the above hypothesys.
This might be the reason for the premature end of the run. This may happen when using MASS extraction option, as the code simply tries to extract the assigned rate, even if it is too high for assigned formation properties. A better option could be to use a DELV approach by evaluating the PI depending on your grid shape and setting a wellbore pressure suitable for wellbore flowing conditions.
Look first at TOUGH2 user's guide and then to Petrasim documentation if you need more info on how to handle sink/sources.
About the *.sim file I sent you, the attached screen shots show how to set both production and injection history at the same well.
