Included Data page

This is the Next >> page accessed in WizGen Basic project mode from the Coordinate System page or by selecting the Goto... button for Choose which data files are included from the Contents page.

The relevant input data blocks created via FileGen should be included in the TransGen project runfile (i.e. <project>.TGDATA).  Additional data may also be included at this stage.



The Included Data page of WizGen will initially be blank, as shown above.

Adding Data Files

1. To add a data file, click on the top Browse... button to open a file selection window, shown below.

2. Navigate to the <project>_INPUT directory (e.g. F64_New_INPUT) and click on a file, e.g. COORD.DATA to select it.

3. Click on OK to load the selected file into the Included Data window of WizGen.

4. Repeat to add all other files.



Data to include

In order to load and view a model, the data associated with the following Eclipse keywords MUST be the first two files added to the Included Data page of WizGen in the following order:-
  • COORD                            - to define the map position of the cell corners

  • ZCORN                             - to define the depth of the cell corners


  • Additionally, in order to view cell and fault properties and to generate transmissibility multipliers, the data associated with the following keywords are required:-
  • PERMX and PERMY     - to define cell permeabilities

  • NTG or TGVS or both    - to define the shale content of the cells

  • MULTX and MULTY      - optionally to import grid-block-based transmissibility multipliers from Eclipse (new to TransGen version 3 - see section on Including Transmissibility Multipliers from Eclipse for details)


  • Other possible data files to include are those associated with keywords that modify the data arrays (ADD, COPY, EQUALS, MULTIPLY) if these are present in the original Eclipse run file to ensure TransGen uses the same data as Eclipse.

    Similarly, if any of keywords which control which cells are active (i.e. ACTNUM, MINPV, MINPVV, PORO) are present in the Eclipse run file, these should also be included to ensure TransGen identifies the same cell/cell connections as Eclipse.

    Optionally, the data files associated with the keywords PERMZ, FAULTS, TGWELL, TGSTRLNE, TGXSECT can be added for visualisation purposes.

    If you are proposing to calculate the Clay Smear Potential of the fault-rock using Defined shale cells (see CSP options on the Fault Rock Properties page), a file containing appropriate data associated with the TGSHALE keyword must be included.

    If you choose to calculate the effective vshale based on either Vshale only or NTG and Vshale, (see Effective vshale computation method on the Fault Rock Properties page), a file containing appropriate data associated with the TGVS keyword must be included.

    See the sections on TransGen data requirements and/or on Keywords for further details.



    When all the relevant  files have been added, click on the Next>> button to view/edit Miscellaneous Options page.

    Alternatively, click on the << Back button to return to the Coordinate System page to view/edit the layout of the input data, the number of Rows, Columns and Layers in the current project and the Units setting.

    Or click on the Contents button to access the Contents page to view/edit any of the current TGDATA file settings, inspect the project's TGDATA file and/or inspect the log generated by last ViewGen calculation.

    Click on Save to save any modifications made to the current TGDATA runfile.
    Click on Quit to exit from WizGen with or without saving the any changes to the TGDATA runfile.
