Attributes defined in the region model can be used to populate settings in the Variables tab of the dialog box.
What are the two options for running the Volumetrics?
Click the Run button in the Volumetrics dialog box for the current project realization, or click Save to save the settings as a job, include the job in a workflow, and then run the workflow.
What happens if a specified volumetrics report file already exists when a report file is requested?
A warning message is displayed asking if you want to overwrite the previous report file.
What warning is displayed if a report table is requested and the specified table object already exists but was generated using a different job specification?
A warning is displayed indicating that the specified table object already exists but was generated using a different job specification.
Explain the difference between Document list and Tabular layout in the RMS Volumetrics Report File output options.
Document list output is a text file with a separate file for each realization, while Tabular output is presented as an Excel, CSV, or text file with a separate file for each realization.
What are the options that can be toggled in the RMS Volumetrics Report File output?
Options such as including realization number in file name and exporting parameter units to file can be toggled.
How can the order of volume calculations in the Report file be set in RMS?
The order of volume calculations in the Report file can be set based on the subsets specified.
What does the Report table option in RMS Volumetrics Report File output create?
The Report table option creates a table within RMS with results for all realizations, useful for investigating uncertainty.
How many tabs does the Volumetric Table Viewer dialog box consist of? Name them.
The Volumetric Table Viewer dialog box consists of three tabs: Data selection, Statistics, and Raw data.
What do the P10 and P90 values in the Statistics tab of the Volumetric Table Viewer reflect?
P10 and P90 values in the Statistics tab reflect high and low side estimates, respectively.
What does the Raw data tab in the Volumetric Table Viewer present?
Raw data tab presents the calculated volumetric data in a table, accounting for potential undefined values if the job is run for fewer realizations than set for the project.
What should be ensured before running the job for the RMS Volumetrics Report File?
Before running the job, ensure the required Import/Export unit set has been selected for the report output.
What are the main types for volumetrics calculations in RMS Software?
Oil/Condensate, Gas, and Totals
What are the subtypes for volume calculations in RMS Software?
Bulk, Net, Pore, HCPV, STOIIP, GIIP, and Recoverable
What are some of the variables involved in the volumetrics formulas in RMS Software?
Porosity, water saturation, and recovery factors
How many outputs can be selected for each volumetrics calculation in RMS Software?
Three: Parameter, Zone map, and Total map
What can be used to speed up later volumetrics calculations in RMS Software?
Pre-calculated bulk volume
What can be generated per license boundary or per zone in RMS Software?
Area and average thickness
What can be created to describe fluid contact in the grid model in RMS Software?
Discrete fluid parameter
What options are available for handling negative cell volumes in RMS Software?
Setting them to zero or allowing them
How can the map layout be defined in RMS Software?
By dragging a surface into the Map Layout drop site
Where can the output location for all the maps selected in the Subtypes section be specified in RMS Software?
Output location
What must be present to use license boundaries in RMS Software?
A closed, non-collapsed polygon
What grid parameter is used to define facies in RMS Software?
Parameter drop-down list
Explain the map output options available in RMS and the requirements for outputting maps to zones.
Maps in RMS can be output to specific folders in the Data tree including Model QC, General 2D data, Clipboard, and Zones. Outputting maps to Zones requires a network structural framework for grid model based output.
Describe the map increment option in RMS and its impact on output maps.
The map increment option in RMS allows users to adjust grid resolution for output maps. A smaller value provides more accurate maps but slower calculations.
What are the input variables for select volumes in RMS and where are they entered?
Input variables for select volumes in RMS are entered in the Variables tab, depending on the options selected in the Calculations tab.
How can variables be defined for zones and regions in RMS?
Variables can be defined for each zone, region, or as a single value for all zones and regions through three alternative input sources: Panel, Table, and Region model.
How can fluid contact data from a region attribute table be used in Volumetrics in RMS?
Fluid contact data from a region attribute table can be used in Volumetrics in RMS if defined with a template based on standard contacts.
What information is listed in the Variables tab in RMS and how is it used?
The Variables tab in RMS lists the formulas to be used for selected calculations, with options depending on the input and calculations chosen in previous tabs.
How can users specify variables in RMS?
Users can specify variables by selecting a variable class, specific variable, and subsets for which different variable values are given.
What are the different variable types available in RMS?
Variable types in RMS include oil, gas, and formation variables, each with specific variables and unit measures, defined through the Unit Set Selector in the Tools menu.
How can variables used as input to volume calculations be specified in RMS?
Variables used as input to volume calculations can be specified in RMS through constant values, surface or parameter selection, or by using a table with the same format as specified in the Table Link section of the Volumetrics dialog box.
What options are available in the Report file tab in RMS and how do they impact the output?
In the Report file tab in RMS, users can specify the output as a Report file or a Report table data object, with calculated values in units taken from the Import/Export unit set, allowing generation of reports in specified units.
How are associated gas and liquid units linked in the Report file and table in RMS?
Associated gas and liquid units in the Report file and table in RMS are linked to the units set for STOIIP and GIIP respectively, which are specified in the Unit Set Selector dialog box accessed from the RMS menu bar under Tools.
