Dear developers,

We have done a terrific effort improving the OPM codes the last year, we all 
deserve a tap on the shoulder. On the reservoir simulation part it seems like 
we are ready to take on the next big challenge. Namely, demonstrating that we 
can replace an industry reservoir simulator on one full field model 
effectively. The Norne case seems most relevant for many reasons. The most 
prominent being: it is available to academia, several of us are already 
familiar with it, it converges relatively easily and simulation time is low, it 
is about as standard as it gets (i.e., few perks and hacks).

I believe we should have the following design goals (please add if you miss 
some):
-All physics  present in the full field model should be accounted for (e.g., 
fully implicit black oil and well models with relevant input accounted for in 
the simulations)
-We need to be able to parse the data and include files, and feed them to the 
simulator without user intervention
-We need to produce relevant grid and summary output for 3D visualization and 
2D production data without user intervention
-We need to be within striking distance performance wise. I believe three times 
slower than relevant industry simulator is acceptable here.

You will find pointers to the Norne model here:

What do you guys think, is this something we can achieve by Christmas?

Cheers,
Alf
