What’s in it for me

› Research communities

• Facility for testing new models and methods on realistic problems

• Keep ownership of your contribution

• Instant benefit from others advancements

• Reproducible science

• Networking with other researchers, service providers and costumers.

› Service providers

• Open access to “state-of-the-art” research

• Test environment for new methods

• Networking with other researchers, service providers and customers.

› Customers

• Accelerate technology transfer

• Access to the source code

• Networking with other researchers, service providers and customers.

FLOW (Fully implicit black-oil simulator)

› IO

• Read Eclipse decks

• Output Eclipse summary, restart and egrid files

› Grid

• Unstructured grids

• Corner point geometry with faults

• Modification of transmissibilities

• Net-to-gross

• MINPV / PINCH

› Wells

• Group control

• History matching wells

• Segmented wells*

• VFP tables*

› Properties

• Dissolved gas and vaporized oil

• End-point scaling

• Hysteresis (using end-point scaling)

• Oil vaporization controls (VAPPARS)

• Three phase oil relative permeability models: (GWSEG, STONE 1* and STONE 2*)

› Linear solvers

• Interleaved solver with iLU preconditioner*

• CPR preconditioner

› Time-step controls

* FLOW version 2015.10

Norne comparison

› 44431 active cells

› 10 years of historical injection and production rates

› 8 injectors and 28 producers

› End-point scaling

› Hysteresis

Norne comparison: Summary

› Results match Eclipse

› Currently OPM-FLOW is 3 times slower than Eclipse on Norne.

FLOW-Polymer

› Compressible oil-water-polymer solver

› Black-oil-polymer solver

FLOW-Solvent

› 4 component, 3 phase black-oil simulator

Summary and outlook

› Summary

• OPM - Open Porous Media initiative

• FLOW is able to run realistic field case problems

• Extensions for EOR: Flow-Solvent, Flow-Polymer,

› Key Goals

• Attract new developers, costumers and users

• Continue adding features based on costumers need

• Increase performance
