Tutorial

Learn pyopmspe11 by creating and modifying an SPE11B case. Start by generating an OPM Flow deck, then run the simulation, write benchmark data, create standard figures, change the physical model and grid, and compare results.

Before starting, complete the Installation. OPM Flow is required from Lesson 2 onward; see OPM Flow.

Tip

Lessons 1 through 4 can be run as one workflow with -m all:

pyopmspe11 -i my_spe11b.toml -o my_spe11b -m all -g all -r 50,1,15 -t 5 -w 1

Reproduce the tutorial
