If you didn't realize it, the CMG Tutorial on 1D single-phase flow was also the exact problem we wrote our own Python code for in Assignment 11. With some easy modifications, we can also solve Assignment 13 in CMG. Recall the problem schematic
The easiest way to work this problem in CMG is to work through the tutorial saving your input file as assignment14.dat. Then edit the input file in a text editor and manually change the lines related to grid spacing and permeability. The permeability line should look something like
PERMI 20000 10 100 50 20
In this case, 20000 is the largest permeability value allowed in the "fake" grid block without causing an error in CMG. Edit the line related to grid spacing (keyword: DI IVAR) in an appropriate way as well. Save the input file and run. Remember to run the simulation for 3 days in 1 day increment time steps. Once the program has finished running without error, there should be a file assignment14.out in the run directory. Copy this file into this repository, add, commit, and push to Github for submission.
You can use CMG from home via the by remote connection into CPE LRC computers. Go to https://pge.utexas.edu/LRC to download a remote connection file.
There are some small differences between the 2023 version of CMG and the one used in the video, but they should not affect your ability to follow the video and complete the assignment. The most notable change is that the main menus for Reservoir, Components, Wells, etc. is located on the file menu at the top of the Builder window.
