plopm#

A lightweight and flexible tool for visualization and postprocessing of OPM Flow geological models.

plopm generates publication-ready PNG figures, GIF animations, CSV data, and VTK files from OPM Flow simulation output.

Get started

Learn what plopm does and where to begin.

Install plopm

Install plopm and the optional OPM Flow and LaTeX dependencies.

Follow the tutorial

Progress from a first PNG to projections, comparisons, and data export.

Explore examples

Browse task-oriented examples with figures and reproducible scripts.

Quick installation#

Install the current development version from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/cssr-tools/plopm.git

See Installation for virtual environments, source installation, OPM Flow, and optional LaTeX support.

Plot pressure on the plane at j=1:

plopm -i examples/SPE11B -v pressure -s ,1,

Display the built-in help or list the variables available for an input case:

plopm --help
plopm -i examples/SPE11B -lv 1

See the Tutorial for a guided workflow and the Command-line reference for exact syntax and option descriptions.

Plot reservoir properties

Visualize static and dynamic quantities on model slices and projections.

Compare simulations

Plot multiple cases, differences, summary vectors, and ensembles.

Create reusable outputs

Export PNG figures, GIF animations, CSV data, and VTK datasets.

Support reproducible workflows

Reproduce visualization and postprocessing tasks from shell scripts.
