Code & simulation
An in-house library for field studies that the operator can own.
Open-source simulation, Python workflows and layered quality control, assembled per field. Access is by conversation.
The approach
Open-source simulation, assembled per field
Each field gets a persistent setup: an open-source simulator such as OPM Flow, a catalogued data store, Python workflows and written procedures that people and AI agents both follow. Roughly four studies in five no longer need a monolithic licence. The reasoning is set out in Simulation without the silo.
Owned by the operator
Code, data and procedures stay with the asset. The next engineer can rerun every result.
Ensembles, not base cases
When a run costs only compute, decisions rest on hundreds of cases and a distribution, not on one favourite model.
Layered quality control
Every automated step is checked by an independent one: units, physical plausibility and analogue comparison.
In-house Python library
What the library covers
Built and maintained in-house and used on live studies. The library is not public: modules are deployed into a client's own field setup under licence, with the code handed over so the operator owns the result.
