Running the Norne case

After the first tutorial, you should have a copy of the latest master branch of the opm-data repository. If you followed the instructions in that tutorial it will be named “opm-data-master”. Go to the Norne case by entering its directory:

cd opm-data-master/norne

From here you could start a Norne run immediately by entering the following command:

flow NORNE_ATW2013.DATA --output-dir=out_serial

Note that there should be no spaces between the parameter key (“output_dir”) and the associated value. It is quite possible to leave out the “output_dir” parameter, that way all your output files will end up in the current directory. If, instead, you choose to use the parameter all output files will end up in the directory you name (and the directory will be created), “out_serial” in the example.

Running the case will take some time, depending on the speed of your computer. Expect around half an hour on reasonably modern computers.

Next, we will take a look at the output being produced by the simulator.
