RMS 13.1

RMS™ is a geoscience and reservoir engineering software solution covering a wide range of functionalities for optimizing 3D reservoir models, to enable a deeper understanding of the reservoir. The software allows operators to flexibly integrate their data and capture and propagate uncertainties across their workflows, preserving data integrity from seismic to production. 

​​​​​Key Benefits

• Support for the Hierarchical Plurigaussian facies modeling plugin, which will be available with the Facies Modeling license. For further information contact support. 
• In Petrophysical Modeling: 
  • Avoid introducing a bias from horizontal well data when defining trends by choosing which wells to use as input to the transformation sequence. 
  • Added flexibility when defining the transformation sequence by allowing the Normal Score and Mean transformation to be automated per transformation.  
  • Quickly calculate an estimate of the output distribution based on the transformation sequence for the properties being modeled, without having to run the entire model.  
• When defining the structural model, skip time-consuming visual computations for faster model iterations and QC. 
• Up to 50% reduction in run time for the Horizon Uncertainty Modeling job through improved handling of well data. 
• The latest version of the RMS-RESQML/Geolog connector, with added support for connection to ETP 1.2 servers, allows connectivity to the Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) as well as improved grid compatibility with SKUA.
• Extended Roxar API support provides access to RMS project data and jobs using the Python language. 

Key Features

• Hierarchical Plurigaussian facies modeling support
• Petrophysical modeling: 
  • Choose wells for input to the transformation sequence independently of the wells chosen for conditioning.  
  • Mean and Normal Score transformation can be set to automated/not automated per transformation, independent of the setting for the sequence. 
  • See the expected output distribution for a property in the selected zone/facies when defining the model setup. 
• Optionally skip creating a polygon model when building a structural model. 
• Improved performance in Horizon Uncertainty Modeling when using well data, plus a new option to ensure the top zone is modeled in the output structure model.  
• Improved QC workflows: 
  • Filter all Point Tables with a data object selector which also allows access to Collections. 
  • Filter Wells QA by Collections, addition of new tests. 
  • Filter Fault Statistics by Collections. 
• The Region Attribute Tables are now available in the Uncertainty/Sensitivity Setup and Big Loop Variables. 
• Specify perforations in local grids for enhanced accuracy around wells. 
• Improved interoperability with SKUA-GOCAD™: Import repeat section grid/K-expanded flow simulation grids from SKUA-GOCAD using RESQML. 
• The event model supports perforations in local grids for both non-segmented and segmented wells. Relevant keywords can be exported to the ECLIPSE simulator.  
• Extended Roxar API support, for access to RMS project data and jobs using the Python language. Roxar API can also be used to create customized plug-ins. RMS 13.1 includes an updated Job API to support changes in the UI, multiple collection as input to jobs, support for Time/Depth Tables, read access to 2D Seismic, and Uncertainty Volume Tables. 
• RMS-RESQML/Geolog Connector v1.7, including support for repeat section grids with stair-stepped faults from SKUA and ETP 1.2 support. 
• RMS-RESQML/Geolog Connector v1.7, including support for repeat section grids with stair-stepped faults from SKUA and ETP 1.2 support.
