When testing a gaslift well under THP control, if the
well does not converge with maximum alq, try to reduce alq
in increments until well equations converge.
It only makes sense to try to optimize the distribution of lift gas if
the amount of lift gas is constrained either by the maximum allowed
gaslift or total gas or the group is under individual control.
Moves the updateRelperms() method in BlackOilInstensiveQuantities in
opm-models to the EclProblem class and its parent MultiPhaseBaseProblem.
This is a more natural place for this method and it avoids having to
include EclMaterialManager into the BlackOilInstensiveQuantities.
This is used by blackoilintensivequantities.hh. Further, for other
problems derived from MultiPhaseBaseProblem, that base class will
return a null pointer such that problems that do not override the
materialLawManagerPtr() method still can use the blackoil intensive
quantitites (which in the case of directional relative permeabilities
makes use of the problem reference to access the materialLawManager)
Convert the Python opm package from a regular package to a namespace
package such that opm-simulators and opm-common can contribute to the
package from different filesystem paths. In this way, the two packages
opm.simulators and opm.io (in opm-common) can have a different parent
filesystem path.
Remove SYSTEM argument for pybind11_add_module() if cmake version is
greater than 3.12. It appears that this argument has been deprecated
and also removed by the new FindPython mode in the cmake tools for
pybind11.
Assign a maximum ALQ value to each GLIFT producer when doing well testing
in beginTimeStep(). This allows the well to be considered open. Then,
later in the timestep, when assemble() is called, the full gas lift
optimization procedure can adjust the ALQ to its correct value.
It is also observed that in some cases when gas lift is switched off by
setting ALQ to zero, and later in the schedule is switched back on again,
it might not be possible to determine bhp from thp for low small ALQ values.
Instead of aborting the gas lift optimization, we should try increasing
ALQ until we get convergence or until the maximum ALQ for the well is
reached.
Refer to opm-common/pull #2971. In order to use the new constructor
proposed in that PR, the constructor must now be passed a boolean
variable signalling if gaslift is active.
Renames some methods and variables to reflect that the well is no
longer necessarily a StandardWell. It can be either a MultisegmentWell
or a StandardWell. This should avoid confusion about the nature of
the variable.
Introduces two new data types BasicRates and LimitedRates to capture
oil, gas, and water rates, and whether they have been limited by well
or group targets. This reduces the number of variables that are passed
to and returned from various methods and thus makes the code easier to
read.
The headers BlackoilWellModel.hpp, StandardWell.hpp,and WellInterface.hpp
all include various GasLift*.hpp headers directly. That means that any
client code that uses those well-related headers will need to have the
GasLift* headers available too.
Also sorts the headers under opm/simulators/wells to make the it easier
to read.
Introduces a gaslift debugging variable in ALQState in WellState. This
variable will persist between timesteps in contrast to when debugging
variables are defined in GasLiftSingleWell, GasLiftGroupState, or GasLiftStage2.
Currently only an integer variable debug_counter is added to ALQState,
which can be used as follows: First debugging is switched on globally
for BlackOilWellModel, GasLiftSingleWell, GasLiftGroupState, and
GasLiftStage2 by setting glift_debug to a true value in BlackOilWellModelGeneric.
Then, the following debugging code can be added to e.g. one of
GasLiftSingleWell, GasLiftGroupState, or GasLiftStage2 :
auto count = debugUpdateGlobalCounter_();
if (count == some_integer) {
displayDebugMessage_("stop here");
}
Here, the integer "some_integer" is determined typically by looking at
the debugging output of a previous run. This can be done since the
call to debugUpdateGlobalCounter_() will print out the current value
of the counter and then increment the counter by one. And it will be
easy to recognize these values in the debug ouput. If you find a place
in the output that looks suspect, just take a note of the counter
value in the output around that point and insert the value for
"some_integer", then after recompiling the code with the desired value
for "some_integer", it is now easy to set a breakpoint in GDB at the
line
displayDebugMessage_("stop here").
shown in the above snippet. This should improve the ability to quickly
to set a breakpoint in GDB around at a given time and point in the simulation.
Refactors getOilRateWithLimit_(), getGasRateWithLimit_(), and
getWaterRateWithLimit_() in GasLiftSingleWellGeneric.cpp. The
common part of the methods is split out into a new method called
getRateWithLimit_(). The purpose of the refactorization is to reduce
reptetive code and make the code easier to maintain.
This is in agreement with C++ Core Guidelines. A member function should
be marked const unless it changes the object’s observable state. This
gives a more precise statement of design intent, better readability, more
errors caught by the compiler, and sometimes more optimization opportunities.
Refactor getOilRateWithGroupLimit_(), getGasRateWithGroupLimit_(),
getWaterRateWithGroupLimit_(), and getLiquidRateWithGroupLimit_() into
a single generic method called getRateWithGroupLimit_().
Consider all groups when reducing oil rate to group limits.
The current code just checks the first group limit in the set.
But there might be groups later in the set with more restrictive
limits, causing the oil rate to be reduced more than the first
limit.
As discussed in PR #3728, it is better to move the two methods
reduceALQtoGroupTarget() and checkGroupTargetsViolated() from
OptimizeState to the parent class, then we do not have to abuse
OptimizeState in maybeAdjustALQbeforeOptimizeLoop_() just to call
reduceALQtoGroupTarget().
Also fixes a typo (as discussed in PR #3729) in reduceALQtoGrouptTarget()
where the water rate is updated with the gas flow rate instead of the
water flow rate. Should be like this:
water_rate = -potentials[this->parent.water_pos_];
instead of
water_rate = -potentials[this->parent.gas_pos_];
Expect non-reference type shared pointers arguments instead of references
to shared pointer. This will make it clear to the caller that the called
function is making a copy of the pointer for its own use and not trying
to modify the original pointer of the caller.
Adds a new constructor to Main.hpp that takes shared pointers to Deck,
EclipseState, Schedule, and SummaryConfig. This makes it possible to
share these variables with Python without worrying about lifetime issues
of the underlying C++ objects. For example, a Python script can first
create an opm.io.schedule.Schedule object which is modified from Python.
Then, assume the same Python script creates an
opm.simulators.BlackOilSimulator which is initialized with the same
schedule object. Since the underlying C++ object is a shared pointer,
the Schedule object in Python may go out of scope (get deleted by Python)
without having the C++ schedule object being deleted. And the Python
BlackOilSimulator may continue to be used after the Python Schedule object
has been deleted since it still has a valid C++ schedule object.
GasLiftGroupInfo.cpp did not include "config.h" which caused HAVE_MPI
to be undefined causing the file to be compiled with
Dune::Communication<No_Comm> instead of with
Dune::Communication<MPI_Comm>. Which later caused linking problems with files
that used MPI.
Check group limits in gas lift stage 1 to avoid adding too much ALQ which must
anyway later be removed in stage 2. This should make the optimization
more efficient for small ALQ increment values. Also adds MPI support.
When making gas lift parallel, see PR #3148, redistributeALQ() did not
reserve space for the decremental and incremental gradients. Later in
execution thread when push_back() was called to add elements to the
vectors, the capacity of the vector could get exceeded and hence the
internal representation of the vector could be reallocated. This seems
to have caused access to undefined memory errors since the iterators into
the vectors was long longer valid.
Adds a simple test case for gas lift optimization. Currently this is
very simplistic and only covers a fraction of the gas lift optimization
code. The plan is to use this as a building block to add more tests
in the future.
Added some more debug code, and initialized some boolean variables.
The jenkins build gives a warning about that '"alq_is_limited" may be
used uninitialized', though the warning is generated in another file
(GasLiftWellState.hpp, line #44) it could be (?) caused by the fact that
"alq_is_limited" might not be initialized before calling the constructor
in GasLiftSingleWell_impl.hpp line #963..
Gives a warning if gas lift optimization is attempted for more than one
process in the MPI communicator. The plan is to implement support for
muliple processes in a later commit.
Extends PR #2824 to include support for GLIFTOPT (item 2, maximum lift
gas supply for a group) and group production constraints.
The optimization is split into two phases. First the wells are optimized
separately (as in PR #2824). In this phase LIFTOPT and WLIFTOPT constraints
(e.g. maxmimum lift gas injection for a well, minimum economic gradient) are
considered together with well production constraints.
Then, in the next phase the wells are optimized in groups. Here, the ALQ
distribution from the first phase is used as a starting point. If a group
has any production rate constraints, and/or a limit on its total rate of
lift gas supply, lift gas is redistributed to the wells that gain the most
benefit from it by considering which wells that currently has the largest
weighted incremental gradient (i.e. increase in oil rate compared to
increase in ALQ).
Restores the original cwd after each unittest in test_basic.py. Also
simplifies add_test() in python/simulators/CMakeLists.txt such that the
Bash script wrapper run-python-tests.sh is no longer needed to run the
tests.
Implements gas lift optimization for a single StandardWell. Support for
gas lift optimization for multi-segment wells, groups of wells and
networks is not implemented yet.
The keywords LIFTOPT, WLIFTOPT, and VFPPROD are used to supply parameters for
the optimization. Also adds support for summary output of liftgas
injection rate via keyword WGLIR.
A resubmission of commit 8e4f748 in PR #2403 and PR #2444 and continues
the work in #2690 implementing Python bindings to the flow simulator.
The Python step() method advances the simulator one report step. Before
calling step() for the first time, step_init() must have been called.
