Emerson has launched RoxarTM RMS 11, the latest version of its reservoir characterisation software. The new software includes a powerful set of tools for developing smarter and more interactive reservoir modelling, channelised reservoirs and region definition, which further strengthens Emerson’s end-to-end exploration and production software portfolio. The suite also comes with a new plug-in technology designed to ensure that RMS 11 is ideally placed for future web and cloud-enabled workflows.
“Roxar RMS 11 is all about the users enabling them to work smarter and get the reservoir modelling results and decision-making intelligence they need in less time,” said Kjetil Fagervik, vice president of Roxar software product development and marketing, Emerson Automation Solutions. “In putting innovation at the heart of the workflow, users can look forward to a fully open, highly automated interactive reservoir modelling solution, leading to the very best information for future drilling, production and field development strategies.”
Key features
• Unified and integrated concepts for describing and defining regions, geometries and attributes in structural and grid models. Users can incorporate a combination of region geometries and attributes in modelling – for instance in map generation, volumetric and flow-model building. The result is increased automation in multi-realisation workflows and an enhanced user experience.
• A more flexible and faster data tree along with new navigation and visualisation editing tools. A new well event creation job that simplifies the generation of well data for flow simulations and extended user-control in the generation of multi-segmented well data for flow simulations.
• A new technology plug-in that extends RMS 11’s functionality and positions it for future web and cloud-enabled workflows includes enhancements to the Roxar API which allows operators to integrate their own intellectual property into reservoir modelling workflows, as well as new features to improve data transfer between Roxar RMS and flow simulators.
Emerson’s Roxar RMS reservoir modelling software is a geosciences and reservoir engineering platform for seismic interpretation, well log interpretation and correlation, mapping, gridding and flow simulation. The software enables operators to integrate their data in one place and capture and propagate uncertainties.
