MiniRes
A simple petroleum reservoir simulator using TPFA (two-point flux approximation). Documentation.
- Small: all of its physics fit in
core.py's 400 lines of code. - Capable: two-phase, slight compressibility, BHP control, well paths, irregular outlines and faults (inactive cells), aquifers – but 2D uniform grid, immiscible, isothermal, and simple well models and operation.
- Adjoint model included; verified against finite differences.
- Python:
(
pip install minires), or demo it in a web browser via(backend: Google) or
(no backend!).
- Fast: similar to JutulDarcy's (but no JIT startup/wait) at equal accuracy on 2D two-phase cases of size $100$ – $10^5$.
- Reliable: reproduces the numbers of the Matlab code (2007) from NTNU/Sintef by Jørg E. Aarnes, Tore Gimse, and Knut–Andreas Lie. Further validated against Buckley–Leverett's analytic solution, ECLIPSE's numbers on the Egg model and JutulDarcy's on quarter five-spot, SPE-10, and Egg.
- Tested extensively:
, with many examples doubling as regression tests.
