TIME_SERIES

TIME_SERIES /

Description

This keyword defines the inputs for time dependent variables, or "reservoir variables". For many fields, this may be only one reservoir simulation model. But in some cases, one might have several sources for reservoir and other relevant time series variables.

For example, a field may have a reservoir simulation model for some areas and decline curves in other area of the reservoir. There may also be tie-ins which are affecting the energy/emissions on the field installations. Also, there may be time profiles for other variables. Therefore, a set of sources may be specified with a name, path to data and type. The name is later referred to in the system of energy consumers defined under INSTALLATIONS.

Reservoir variables and other time varying data not coming from a reservoir simulation model can be specified in a CSV file.

Required attributes

Attributes	Description
NAME	Reference name of time series
TYPE	Time series type; DEFAULT or MISCELLANEOUS
FILE	Path to input file

Attributes dependent on time series type

	DEFAULT	MISCELLANEOUS	Description
INTERPOLATION_TYPE	RIGHT	Required: LEFT, RIGHT or LINEAR	Defines how rates are interpolated between the given time steps (LEFT/RIGHT/LINEAR).
EXTRAPOLATION	FALSE	Optional. Default: FALSE	Defines whether the rates in the source should be set to 0 after the last time step (FALSE), or equal to value at last time step after the time interval (TRUE).
INFLUENCE_TIME_VECTOR	Optional. Default: TRUE	Optional. Default: TRUE	Determine if time steps should contribute to global time vector. TRUE or FALSE. At least one time vector is required to be TRUE.

Example

TIME_SERIES:
  - NAME: SIM1
    TYPE: DEFAULT
    FILE: /path_to_model1/model_data.csv
  - NAME: DATA2
    TYPE: MISCELLANEOUS # e.g. variable flare, compressor suction and discharge pressures
    FILE: inputs/somecsvdata.csv
    INFLUENCE_TIME_VECTOR: FALSE
    EXTRAPOLATION: TRUE
    INTERPOLATION_TYPE: RIGHT
