What is the work space?

PORO TracerSim allows use of a work space, that is, the field in which the wells and faults are inserted. Its definition is simple, only the coordinate limits of the area of interest need be entered in the text boxes.

While working, the work area may be modified as required.

Another way to modify the work space is by clicking the Setup menu and then on the calculation and graph parameters, or directly by clicking the following icon.

• Well flow rate (without +/-, the program set depends on whether the well is PRODUCER or INJECTOR);

• Position in X;

• Position in Y

It is not necessary to enter the X and Y positions with the keyboard, the mouse can be used anywhere in the field or work space and the values in the dialog box will change automatically. The coordinates of the mouse pointer in the position indicator can be followed.

Once writing values, click on the Accept button, and the element will be inserted. In the field or work space an image appears in the corresponding place that allows selecting whether the well is a PRODUCTOR or an INJECTOR:

How to delete a well?

Right-click the corresponding image of the well to be deleted and then the menu appears by which the selected well can be eliminated.

How to amend the wells inserted?

To modify a well already inserted, click on the image of the well. The same table which was used to insert the well appears. This enables the values to be corrected, and then press Accept.

How are the faults inserted, modified and removed?

Click on the button Faults.’A list of inserted faults is now shown in the field or work space. By clicking on the New Fault button the following box appears.

Faults are inserted in a manner similar to the wells by writing the positions of two points that define the line of the fault in the following box. To use the mouse instead just click on Position X in the text box of POINT 1 and then click on the position of the field or work space. The values for X and Y will be written automatically.

To insert POINT 2, click on the Position X text box of POINT 2, and then perform the same operation as for the first point. The values can be changed at any time, until the right position is found. In the field or work space, the following image appears:

To remove an already inserted fault, click on the corresponding fault in the list of faults and then on the Eliminate button in the same box.

To modify an already inserted fault, double-click on the corresponding fault in the list of faults, or select with a single click the fault, and click on the Modify button. A box appears similar to the one which appears when a new fault is being inserted. Only the values of the X and Y coordinates of both points defining the line of the fault should be modified. The mouse should be used in the same way as that for inserting a new fault.
