flownet 0.3.0

Simplified training of reservoir simulation models

FlowNet: Data-Driven Reservoir Predictions

FlowNet aims at solving the following problems:

• Create data-driven reduced physics models - directly from the data
• Train the model
• Assure model predictiveness
• Use the models to efficiently optimize and make decisions

For documentation, see the GitHub pages for this repository.

Installation

FlowNet is a Python package. The package itself, and other dependencies, can be installed using a Python virtual environment, except for the OPM-Flow reservoir simulator.

Install FlowNet

FlowNet uses the open-source reservoir simulator OPM-Flow. To be able to run FlowNet you will need to have OPM-Flow installed first. There are also other dependencies like the Python packages libecl and libres which currently are not easily installable from PyPI (however, things are happening, so hopefully in a not too distant future, dependencies are installable from PyPI, which is already the case for flownet itself: pip install flownet).

1. Clone the FlowNet GitHub repository with SSH:

git clone [e-mail]:equinor/flownet.git

2. Move into the cloned directory:

cd flownet

3. Run the scripts containing the building recipe:

bash ./apt_install.sh
bash ./build_environment.sh ./venv /usr/bin/flow

This will automatically create a simple Python virtual environment ./venv

4. Source the newly created virtual environment:

source ./venv/bin/activate

5. Install the flownet Python module in development mode:

pip install -e .

Omit the -e flag if you want a standard installation.

:warning: Do you want to run FlowNet through the LSF queue? To be able to have the ERT process, that will be called by FlowNet, run jobs via LSF correctly you will need to update your default shell's configuration file (.cshrc or .bashrc) to automatically source your virtual environment.

Running FlowNet

You can run FlowNet as a single command line:

flownet ahm ./some_config.yaml ./some_output_folder

Run flownet --help to see all possible command line argument options.

Running webviz to check results

Before running webviz for the first time on your machine, you will need to to create a localhost https certificate by doing:

webviz certificate --auto-install --force
