Roxar says that Tone Kråkenes is to become the new Product Manager for Roxar’s flagship reservoir modeling solution, IRAP RMS™.

In her new role Tone will be tasked with bringing RMS2009 to market in early 2009, which will allow for the local updating of both the structural model and geological model, resulting in significant reservoir management and productivity enhancements.

Tone, who previously held a number of senior geologist positions with multinational operators, will also work closely with Roxar's development and regional sales groups to further bolster the company’s reservoir interpretation and reservoir modeling portfolio.

Said Managing Director of Roxar Software Solutions, Ordin Husa, “Reliable geological reservoir models are the foundation stones upon which optimum field development and hydrocarbon recovery are built. This is why IRAP RMS™ is thought of so highly in the market.”

“Following on from recent IRAP RMS™ developments such as next generation structural modeling and the launch of uncertainty management modules, we look forward to Tone taking IRAP RMS™ to the next stage as we continue to meet operators’ evolving needs. Tone’s practical operator experience, working in some of the North Sea’s most high profile fields, will also be a great asset to us as we ensure that the operator perspective is at the forefront of our thinking and product development.”
