The agreement confirms that Irap RMS is no longer a tool for a limited group of experts within E&P companies, but can be used by geoscientists and engineers in day-to-day operations. We have developed robust solutions for reservoir management in close co-operation with our customers, including Norsk Hydro. In the future, Roxar will continue to break down technological barriers and to provide first class services and support to reservoir modelers.
