I forgot to reply the message to the OPM mailing lists. Just forward the reply here.
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Bao Kai <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Mar 15, 2019 at 10:51 AM Subject: Re: [Opm] Problem with injecting field voidage replacement To: Stephen, Karl D <[email protected]> Hi, Stephen, Thanks for the message and all the efforts to create this case and provide the DATA file. I have not been able to run the deck, while this is some inputs from my side. Group control is very general and flexible, we currently only support very limited subset of the features related to group control based on our project requirements. We will have continuous efforts to complete and improve the group control functionality when we can allocate resources. As for your deck, we do not support one group to obtain voidage rate based on the production rate from another group, and also, we understand it is not very trivial to fix based on the current implementation. We have an example in opm-tests to demonstrate what features related to group control we are supporting, https://github.com/OPM/opm-tests/tree/master/spe9group . Please take a look at this example to see whether you can change your group structure a little bit (similar to the example spe9group) and also fulfill your purpose. Please let me know if you need any help for it. Hope it is helpful to you.
