IRAP RMS Suite
Encyclopedia
The Roxar RMS Suite is a software toolkit for geomodelling and designing reservoirs. It is primarily designed for use in the oilfield industry, helping engineers gather data from a wide variety of sources to efficiently build reliable reservoirs. In the program, the workflow consists of Internal Programming Language scripts, which execute emulations of certain models, varying one parameter, whilst keeping the rest consistent.

History
- 1987 - Geomatic begins distribution of the first version of the IRAP software.
- 1994 - IRAP becomes IRAP RMS, the industry’s first 3D modelling package.
- 1995 - Smedvig TechnologiesSmedvigSmedvig ASA, , was a Norwegian offshore oil rig company headquartered in Stavanger until it was acquired by rig newcomer SeaDrill. At time of the merger Smedvig operated two semi submersibles, one drillship and one jack up rig in the Norwegian and British sector of the North Sea...
, later known as Roxar AS, acquires Geomatic AS and ODIN Reservoir Software. Smedvig’s analysis and processing software, ResView, ODIN's tool for stochasticStochasticStochastic refers to systems whose behaviour is intrinsically non-deterministic. A stochastic process is one whose behavior is non-deterministic, in that a system's subsequent state is determined both by the process's predictable actions and by a random element. However, according to M. Kac and E...
reservoir modelling, STORM, and Geomatic's IRAP reservoir modelling software merge into IRAP RMS.
- 2009 - Roxar is acquired by Emerson, St.Louis USA and becomes part of a USD 28 billion company.
Version 6
In version 6, STORM’s stochastic modelling was merged with structure and fault modelling capabilities. Also introduced was the 'Workflow Manager' tool, which allows users to build and update reservoir models quickly.New modules
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| RMSwellplan | A user friendly oil well Oil well An oil well is a general term for any boring through the earth's surface that is designed to find and acquire petroleum oil hydrocarbons. Usually some natural gas is produced along with the oil. A well that is designed to produce mainly or only gas may be termed a gas well.-History:The earliest... planning tool. |

RMS 2009
RMS2009 has a new user interface. Other key features of the release include improved structural modelling, data import and a new local model update module. It also has real-timeReal-time data
Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Real-time data is often used for navigation or tracking....
