The OPM software has been developed in collaboration with Equinor, NORCE, OPM-OP, Ceetron Solutions, TNO, and various other partners aiming to provide a software platform that is both industrially useful as well as a good basis for advanced research. The programs provided include OPM Flow, a reservoir simulator using the fully implicit black-oil formulation, several programs for upscaling of petrophysical and fluid properties, and ResInsight, a reservoir visualization tool.
OPM Flow has been developed for commercial use, has been validated and shown to offer competitive computational performance on a variety of real-field cases, and is today used operationally on several assets. Starting in 2021, a consortium consisting of SINTEF, NORCE, and OPM-OP offers commercial support and maintenance to any interested client.
