New wells and existing wells (oil producers, injectors) #329

Can we have new wells and existing wells (oil producers and injectors) as main inputs. This is important inspecific to EOR floods and for CO2-EOR floods in OPGEE.

If we just used the new wells as input then the OPGEE calculates liquid rate per producer which is calculated to be very high which then runs in PI loop (average liquid rates per producer is used to calculate the Pwf and then calculate PI incase if Pwf is negative).

If number of producing wells= new producers+ existing producers , then the drilling emissions of existing wells is also calculated which then overestimate of gate-to-gate emissions.

Recommendation if we can add two more inputs as main inputs for new producers and injectors and update the drilling algorithm to calculate the drilling emissions for new wells only (producers and injectors).

I think this needs to be tabled until a later version. Agree that a marginal approach would be nice to include in a more formal way.
