Emerson’s Roxar Tempest 8.0 provides risk mitigation, increased field productivity and expanded integration from geosciences to production 

Emerson Automation Solutions has launched the latest version of its reservoir management software suite, Roxar Tempest 8.0, bringing reservoir engineers more tools to maximise the potential of their fields. The latest version features additional history-matching capabilities; enhanced field productivity thanks to greater simulation performance; and an integrated workflow from geosciences to production

“Our reservoir management software has always had a simple goal – to help operators make better decisions and improve field economics when it comes to their development plans,” said Kjetil Fagervik, vice president of product development and marketing of Roxar Software at Emerson Automation Solutions. 

“We have now taken this goal a step further, adding even greater value throughout the reservoir lifecycle by providing a technology platform that combines engineering and geology and ensures that the very best uncertainty and risk analysis information is available for those vital field development decisions.”

Further integration from geosciences to production as a result of the Big Loop solution, offering reservoir engineers an automated workflow that tightly integrates static and dynamic domains throughout the field’s lifetime, incorporates the stochastic property of geological inputs, and ensures optimal consistency of the reservoir properties with the underlying geology. Reservoir engineers can also utilize the Roxar App Connector to run additional third-party programmes or in-house applications, leading to improved uncertainty analysis through the closer integration of geology and engineering. 

Roxar Tempest, which runs on Windows and Linux and operates alongside Emerson’s reservoir modeling solution, Roxar RMS, is an integrated software suite that provides a single, consistent interface and is used in hundreds of installations worldwide. Tempest modules include fluid analysis and an economic evaluation tool that provides cash flow analysis derived from simulation results. All modules can be deployed as an integrated suite with a common interface, or separately within third party simulation workflows.

Coltraco Ultrasonics have confirmed that they have been awarded ABS Type Approval for two of its leading products used in offshore oil and gas and with navies worldwide

Further supporting the Coltraco Ultrasonics safeship solutions, the innovations have been designed to improve safety at sea for safety critical and high-value assets and infrastructure.

Portalevel MAX is a handheld ultrasonic liquid level indicator for testing cylinder contents of fixed fire extinguishing systems like CO2 and clean agents. UL, RINA, ABS, The Portalevel MAX is in its eighth incarnation and is designed to provide enhanced speed, operation, and performance, especially for high-intensity testing requirements. It is the first UL Approved ultrasonic level indicator that Coltraco Ultrasonics have ever produced. 

Portascanner Watertight is a portable ultrasonic watertight integrity indicator for testing the seals of hatch-covers, doors, multiple cable transits and more. RINA, ABS. It has been designed to primarily enhance the ease and accuracy with which critical watertight, airtight or weather tight seals can be inspected for leak sites or areas of reduced compression in the seal.
