The Volve Oilfield Simulation model was build on a grid of 108x100x62 cells. The total number of cells in the model is 680400 and the number of active cells is 183,545.
How to run the Volve Oilfield dynamic model in OPM Flow

SIMULATION MODEL SOLUTION and SUMMARY Section Description – Part 4/5
The simulator calculates the initial equilibrium state of the reservoir and defines the the pressure and saturations in each grid cell. For a reservoir with multi-phase fluid, the vertical pressure and saturation gradient can be determined from the contact depths, together with the capillary pressure at these depths.
SIMULATION MODEL PROPS and REGIONS Section Description – Part 3/5
This section contains the pressure and saturation dependent properties of the simulation dataset. This would generally include fluid PVT properties, rock compressibility and saturation values for the grid.
Setup VirtualBox, OPM-Flow Simulator and ResInsight to run the Volve Oilfield Model
OPM-Flow is an open source fully implicit, black oil reservoir simulator developed under the Open Porous Media Initiative. The simulator is based on a Linux workspace and requires the installation of a virtual-box in windows based machines. We’ll be using this simulator for our simulation and visualization of the Volve oilfield model.
SIMULATION MODEL GRID and EDIT Section Description – Part 2/5
The GRID section determines the basic geometry of the simulation grid and various rock properties (porosity, absolute permeability, net-to-gross ratios) in each grid cell. From this information, the program calculates the grid block pore volumes, mid-point depths and inter-block transmissibilities.
SIMULATION MODEL RUNSPEC Section – Part 1/5
The Volve field simulation directory has ECLIPSE and CMG simulation software input files. In this article, we'll describe the first part of the ECLIPSE simulation model (VOLVE_2016_EXPAND.DATA) which includes an overview on the simulation run specifications [RUNSPEC] They build the Volve simulation Model on 680 x 400 total cells with runs distributed on a machine with 4 parallel cores. It simulates a black oil fluids model, starting from 31 Dec 2007, using the 6 production wells and 2 injection wells.
