The Open Porous Media (OPM) software suite provides libraries and tools for modeling and simulation of porous media processes, especially for simulating CO2 sequestration and improved and enhanced oil recovery.

opm-simulators provides a research (ebos) and a production (flow) fully implicit black-oil simulators, supporting one to three phases and supporting solvent and polymer options. It uses cell centered finite volume schemes with two point flux approximation and automatic differentiation for the discretization and uses state of the art linear and nonlinear solvers. It supports standard and multi segment well models and reading and writing file in Eclipse format, a defacto industry standard in the oil reservoir simulation community.

Package provides the simulation programs.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libopm-simulators-bin
