The Reservoir Editor ("Figure: Reservoir Editor - Physical Tab - Annotated") is used to specify both the physical and operational data for a reservoir through the use of two tabs—a Physical tab and an Operations tab.
To open the Reservoir Editor:
"Figure: Reservoir Editor - Physical Tab - Annotated" shows an annotated version of the Reservoir Editor. From top down, the Reservoir Editor is made up of:
A Title Bar—which displays the name of the editor followed by the name of the current reservoir network.
A Menu Bar—which has a Reservoir (File) menu and an Edit menu. The Menu Bar may also display one or more additional menus depending on your most recent action or selection in the editor.
A Navigation Bar—which provides features to selecting the reservoir for editing. The Navigation Bar includes:
- A Reservoir Selector that you can use to select the reservoir you want to edit
- A Description textbox that displays the description you entered when you created the reservoir. The ellipsis button
at the end of the text box will open a description edit dialog. - A set of Navigation Tools for switching between reservoirs in the Editor.
A set of Tabs including:
- Physical tab—for defining the physical properties of a reservoir. The Physical Tab divided into two parts: the Reservoir Tree is at the left and an Edit Panel is to the right.
- Operations tab—for defining the zones and rules and other features that describe the reservoir's operating constraints
- Observed Data tab—for selecting the computed model variables that you may want to compare to an observed or external time series when reviewing results through ResSim's standard reservoir plots.
A set of Save & Close Buttons including:
- Ok —will save the changes made to the current reservoir and close the Editor.
- Cancel—will close the Editor and discard (not save) any changes made to the current reservoir.
- Apply—will save the changes made to the current reservoir but will not close the Editor. It is a good practice to press Apply before switching to another tab or reservoir.

Reservoir Editor - Observed Data Tab
Use the Observed Data ("Figure: Reservoir Editor—Observed Data Tab") tab to indicate that observed data is available for comparison purposes in ResSim's standard plots. If the Observed box in the table is checked for a given model variable, then there will be a corresponding entry in the Time-Series mapping table on the "Observed Data" tab of the Alternative Editor when you create or edit an alternative using this network.
