Roxar RMS 11.1

RMS 11.1

RMS 11.1, Emerson’s leading reservoir modeling software, contains

new features and large enhancements (described in full in the Release Notes PDF document),
many small enhancements and fixes to satisfy client requests and client-reported issues (described in full in the Improvements and Fixes PDF document).

Access these PDF documents from the RMS menu bar (Help ➥ Release Notes).

RMS 11.1 introduces new features and enhancements including, but not limited to, those described in the following subsections.

RMS selection tools from the Data Explorer can now be used within Plugin panels. The available selector options include horizons, wells, and trajectories.
It is now possible to set RMS plugins to sub levels in the RMS Data tree.
Support for storing the state of check boxes has been enhanced. While previously, only the checked state was stored in the configuration, now the unchecked state is also stored, with the value None.

The Roxar API has been enhanced to provide full access to grid geometry; users now are able to create or update grid models with custom grid geometry.

Improvements to the Channels NGOM job (see also Channels Next Generation Object Modeling):
- New method for editing the channel shape, and shape editors are now expanded in Edit mode.
- Distributions can be visualized in a plot for easier QC of the input data.
- New, and more intuitive, icons introduced to describe to which directions trends will be applied.
  
  In the Volume fractions section, when setting the direction according to the grid layout, select between I, J, or K.
  
  When using trends as input to geometries, the directions are set according to the channel azimuth; select between Along channel, Perpendicular to channel and In depth.
- Minor performance issues has been addressed to further enhance the usability of the job.
The i-Task for creating logs has been converted to a job in RMS and renamed as the Create Blocked Well Log job; as such, this can now be incorporated into automated workflows to ensure repeatable results (see also Creating Blocked Well Logs).

Several enhancements further increase the effectiveness of the existing workflow management capabilities within RMS (see also Using Workflow Management):
- A tooltip has been added for Notes in RMS workflows; this tooltip provides the user name of the user who last edited the note, and the date and time of when the editing was made.
- In the Workflows Area, two new directional arrow buttons have been added which allow you to go back, and go forward, to previously visited workflows in a project session.
You can now display point data in an Intersection view.

You can now export multiple SEG-Y data using the Export SEG-Y dialog box as opened from the Seismic folder in the Data tree (see also SEG-Y Multiple Export), and also export individual objects in the SEG-Y format, as in earlier versions of RMS, using the Export Single SEG-Y dialog box (see also SEG-Y Single Export).

The new Blocked Wells Log Calculator (IPL) job enables you to create new blocked well logs, based on mathematical operations on existing blocked logs. The functions used to create new logs can be stored in the calculator and applied to different sets of wells, and also be stored as IPL scripts for future use (see also Blocked Wells Log Calculator (IPL)).
A new Log Smoothing job has been added, enabling you to smooth log curves in the log runs of trajectories (see also Smoothing Logs).
The i-Task functionality for combining logs has been made into an RMS job, such that it can be accessed by IPL scripts, for example, as part of workflow which can be automated (see also Creating a Combined Log).
The new Create Horizon Picks from Surface job allows you to create Horizon well picks relative to a selected surface, with respect to the stratigraphic framework of the project (see also Creating Horizon Picks from a Surface).
The Remove Duplicate Horizon Picks dialog box allows you to delete duplicate Horizon well pick types in a well with respect to the stratigraphic framework in RMS (see also Removing Duplicate Horizon Picks).
The new Create Collection from Log Filter job allows you to create an RMS Data Explorer collection based on filtered logs (see also Creating Collections from a Log Filter).

The Composite Parameter Convert dialog box has been extended to support user-definition of the date format as applied in the name of result parameters (see also Converting Composite Parameters).
