Running the Volve Eclipse reservoir simulation using the OpenPorousMedia flow simulator.
This project is derived from the Equinor release of the Volve dataset. The original data can be found here: https://www.equinor.com/en/how-and-why/digitalisation-in-our-dna/volve-field-data-village-download.html
OpenPorous media is installed by following the instructions found on the webpage.
In this work I have used the December 2019 version installed on Linux Mint 18.3 via the binary method outlined here:
https://opm-project.org/?page_id=245
To run the files execute the following command
mpirun -np 8 flow VOLVE_2020.DATA
Here the modified OPM simulation is compared directly with the Equnior provided model run with ECLIPSE. There are some clear difference between the two (e.g. the Equinor model has additonal wells, modified permeability am additional faults etc). Encouragingly the results are very similar over this time scale.
