Petroleum Field Development Optimization Framework.
FieldOpt is a C++ programming framework implemented for rapid prototyping and testing of optimization procedures targeting petroleum field development problems such as well placement optimization, reservoir control optimization and inflow-control device optimization. FieldOpt is an ongoing open-source research software designed to facilitate collaboration projects.
FieldOpt contributes to research workflows by providing an extensible framework that facilitates both problem parametrization and customized algorithm development. It serves as a practical interface between optimization methodology and reservoir simulation enabling the hybridization of algorithms and the use of different reservoir simulators. Its execution layer provides efficient cost function parallelization across multiple realizations.

See the compilation guide for instructions on how to compile FieldOpt.
Some documentation can be found in markdown formatted readme files
in the appropriate directories (modules). However, most of the
documentation is in form of Doxydoc comments. To compile this,
run doxygen Doxyfile in the root of this repository. This will
generate a set of HTML files that can be opened in a browser.
