Hello First, thanks for sharing OPM. I've compiled it in Debian Stretch and I'm running some of the tutorials. It is a great tool!
I'm writing to ask for guidance through OPM code as I'm interested in studying the application of diffusion equation eigenvalues to the characterization of heterogeneous reservoirs. The basic idea is to compare eigenvalues of 3D reservoir models with eigenvalues obtained from extended well tests. The problem I'd like to solve with OPM (possibly by modifying some of the code) is the linear eigenvalue problem that results after applying separation of variables to the linear diffusion equation. In latex code, that would be: \nabla k(x) / \mu \cdot \nabla \Psi = \lambda w(x) \Psi , where k(x) is the permeability tensor, \mu is the fluid viscosity and w(x) is a weight scalar function (e.g., porosity times compressibility). At boundaries, Neumann boundary conditions apply and \lambda and \Psi are the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions, respectively. I'm considering single phase flow only. I believe some suitable code may exist in opm-upscaling module. If I'm successful at this task, I'd like to compare the computed eigenvalues with ones extracted from an extended well test performed at Petrobras. Maybe that can help integrate the well test data into the reservoir model. The eigenvalues from the well test are being extracted with a method introduced by two Shell engineers ("A New Method for Estimating Average Reservoir Pressure: The Muskat Plot Revisited" <https://www.onepetro.org/journal-paper/SPE-102730-PA>). I expect to make it a phd project for myself, but I'd like to make some tries before looking for a university. Sorry for the long message and thanks in advance. -- Rodrigo
