SOLVENT_TL: flow condition to initialize a study with constant pressure and saturationsΒΆ

In the Solvent model the solution variables are: oil pressure, oil saturation, gas saturation/bubble point, solvent saturation and temperature. To initialize a study with constant pressure, saturation and temperature, four Dirichlet conditions can be applied.

If the oil in place is saturated with reservoir gas, then the gas saturation must be used instead of the bubble point. See example below.

If the oil in place is unsaturated with reservoir gas, then the bubble point must be used instead of the gas saturation. See example below.
