STAVANGER, Norway -- Roxar has launched its next generation structural modeling solution.

According to the company, the solution, which includes an intuitive user interface, new fault, and horizon modeling tools, and improved 3D and integrated simulation gridding, will lead to quicker and more accurate characterizations of the reservoir, better decision-making with greater financial returns on data acquisition, and maximum reservoir performance.

The suite of structural modeling tools, which will be fully integrated with Roxar's IRAP RMS, will enable users to:

•Reduce the time required to build a structural framework from months to weeks
•Create high quality grids for reservoir modeling and simulation
•Improve simulation results with as much of the structural complexity as possible incorporated into the grid, producing simulation-friendly grids, suitable for accurate predictions of production.

Product features include:
• Improved fault geometry and fault intersection.
• Horizon modeling
• Integrated simulation gridding
• Improved 3D gridding

"Through Roxar's structural modeling solution, operators will be able to dramatically speed up the structural modeling process and improve the quality of their models with the level of structural complexity modeled being a user choice rather than one imposed by the technology," says Gunnar Hviding, Roxar CEO. "The result will be the unlocking of huge productivity improvements, a much greater return on investment from data acquisition and interpretation expenditure, and the very best in reservoir characterization."
