Processing BOAST3 Output
Output File Types

• Summary files
  • .OUT - output listing
  • .SCR - screen output
  • .WEL - well production summary
  • .TAB - field production summary
• Files for post processing tools
  • .GWN - grid & well block data (B3PLOT)
  • .BPD - binary production data (B3PLOT)
  • .CGD - grid & well data (COLORGRID)
  • .MAP - binary file for 3D arrays (COLORGRID)

Post Processing Tools

• Boast3 Post Processing Tools
• B3PLOT2
  • line graphics package
  • plots production, pressure, saturation & other data vs time
  • two basic modes
    • plotting simulated data
    • history matching
  • to plot simulated output - B3PLOT2 SIM
  • to plot historical data - B3PLOT2 HIS
    • to use HIS option
      • 1 or more historical data files must be present
      • historical file must have ".HIS" extension
        • total field data file: FIELD.HIS
    • well data file: WELLID.HIS
• COLORGRID
  • to view finite-difference-grid on screen in plan or elevation view
  • grid is colored based on range of parameters
  • various maps of input or output data can be viewed
  • to run COLORGRID - COLOR [sim file name]
