Rock Flow Dynamics is pleased to announce that our quarterly major software update is available for download.

We are pleased to share the key updates from tNavigator 24.4 release. Our rapid development continues with a range of implementations across static & dynamic modelling, focusing on usability and functionality for an enhanced user experience.

This version introduces Mining Designer, a brand-new module in our geological suite for mineral resource modelling and block modelling, expanding tNavigator’s capabilities beyond the energy industry. Additionally, a domain selection feature allows users to tailor their workspace by choosing from specialised profiles such as Geophysicist, Mining Engineer, Reservoir Engineer, and more, ensuring an optimised interface with only the relevant tools for each discipline.

There is also new functionality across all domains, including:

• Geophysics
• Geology
• Dynamic Modeling & Simulation
• Integrated Production Modeling
• Assisted History Matching

These updates unlock new possibilities, making tNavigator 24.4 more powerful, efficient, and adaptable than ever before. 🚀

We are honoured to share that Rock Flow Dynamics has been actively involved in a cutting-edge interwell CO2 injection field trial at Pertamina’s field in East Java. As part of this important initiative, we’ve had the privilege of providing technical expertise and support through our advanced reservoir simulation software, tNavigator, which has played a critical role in predicting and evaluating the subsurface phenomena during the injection process.

Recently, Reizky, Rudini, and Reynaldi from Rock Flow Dynamics Indonesia had the unique opportunity to witness the CO2 injection firsthand at the wellsite. This invaluable experience allowed us to collaborate closely with Pertamina’s team to explore additional what-if scenarios, simulate potential variations in the injection process, and assess the resulting dynamics of the reservoir. This collaborative approach ensures that Pertamina can optimize operational strategies and gain a deeper understanding of the reservoir’s response in real time, ultimately supporting their long-term goals for field management and CO2 storage.

A special note of gratitude goes to Mbak Debby Halinda, Senior Reservoir Engineer at Pertamina, whose leadership, professionalism, and commitment to excellence made this field visit not only productive but also enriching for all involved. Her support and vision have been crucial in shaping this project, and we are deeply appreciative of her efforts in making this collaboration seamless.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the broader Pertamina Sukowati CO2 Project Team for their dedication and tireless efforts in making this field trial a reality. Your commitment to innovation and sustainable energy practices is truly inspiring, and we are excited to be part of this transformative journey with you.

As we move forward, we wholeheartedly wish Pertamina every success in their CO2 injection efforts. This field trial is a significant step toward advancing sustainable energy solutions, and we are confident that the results will not only meet, but exceed, Pertamina’s expectations. We believe that the insights gained from this project will serve as a solid foundation for future advancements in CO2 storage and enhanced oil recovery techniques.

At Rock Flow Dynamics, we remain committed to supporting Pertamina in their pursuit of innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions for energy production. We look forward to continuing this partnership and contributing to the future of the energy industry in Indonesia and beyond.

Here’s to the success of this ground-breaking field trial and to many more milestones together!

On November 1, 2024, we had the honour of providing Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia with academic tNavigator license donations. This contribution is intended to support ITB’s faculty and students in advancing their research and academic pursuits within the field of petroleum engineering.

With tNavigator, a leading reservoir simulation software, ITB will gain valuable tools to enhance technical knowledge, promote innovation, and continue its strong tradition of excellence in engineering education. We are grateful to be part of the journey in empowering the next generation of engineers and researchers.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the SPE ITB Student Chapter for their dedication in organizing this meaningful event and for facilitating the partnership between our teams. Your efforts were instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

The event was honoured by the presence of esteemed representatives from ITB, including Ibu Silvya Rahmawati, Head of the Petroleum Engineering Department, and Pak Ivan Kurnia, Reservoir Modelling and Simulation Lecturer Representative. We were also privileged to have Ibu Dewi Haerani Kurniawati, Vice President of Rock Flow Dynamics South East Asia, as well as our colleagues from Rock Flow Dynamics: Reizky Azhar, Rudini Simanjorang, Abdullah Fanani, Nur Iman Khamidy, and Athallah Naufall in attendance.

This collaboration marks an important step forward for both ITB and Rock Flow Dynamics, and we are hopeful that it will contribute to the continued growth and success of petroleum engineering education in Indonesia and the region.

Thank you to Institut Teknologi Bandung for your unwavering commitment to advancing knowledge and research. We look forward to the positive impact of this donation and to continuing our partnership in the future.
