Last week, the PoroTwin team brought together researchers from the University of Bergen, SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology for a collaborative session exploring the next phase of experimental workflows at the Department of Physics and Technology. Participants remotely executed experiments, analyzed results in real time, and initiated short-term forecasts using OPM Flow.

A key highlight was the integration of automated feedback from the project’s “digital twin,” enabling on-the-fly adjustments to the ongoing “analog twin” experiments. This dynamic interaction demonstrates a significant step beyond traditional, human-designed experimental setups. It points toward a future where experiments can be automatically generated, executed, analyzed, and iteratively improved through continuous learning.
 

The session also provided an opportunity to welcome a new collaborator from Harbour Energy, Martin Haege, who was introduced to the project and its ambitions. In addition, valuable discussions were held with partners from Heriot-Watt University, represented by Ahmed ElSheik, strengthening the shared vision for advancing digital and experimental integration.

The event also gathered a broad group of master's and PhD students and visiting researchers involved in the FluidFlower and PoroTwin environments. Through presentations and discussions, they highlighted how PoroTwin connects with and complements other ongoing research activities on campus.

Overall, the day marked an important proof-of-concept and a step forward in redefining how experimental science can be conducted. The team now looks ahead to further developing and scaling these capabilities.
