Bringing the Rock Flow Dynamics Vision to Life
Rock Flow Dynamics was founded on a simple but ambitious idea: to transform how subsurface understanding is built, shared, and acted upon. Today, that idea has evolved into a living vision, shaped as much by people and culture as by technology and science. From supporting classic oil and gas projects to expanding into mining, Rock Flow Dynamics connects identity, digitalisation, and next-generation geoscience to help clients work with confidence in complex subsurface environments.
IDENTITY AND TEAM: THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE DO
What truly defines Rock Flow Dynamics is not just the technology it supports, but the people behind it. The company’s identity is rooted in a dynamic, focused, and community-centred team of geoscientists, engineers, and technologists working side by side.
Collaboration is an everyday practice rather than a slogan. By encouraging openness, shared learning, and constructive challenge, teams are able to tackle complex subsurface problems efficiently and creatively.
“At Rock Flow Dynamics, our personality is shaped by the environments we work in. Complex, fast-moving, and highly collaborative. That’s why we place so much value on curiosity and teamwork. We believe strong technical results come from people who are willing to listen, challenge ideas constructively, and work together toward a shared goal.” – Scott Harrison, Aberdeen
At Rock Flow Dynamics, personality is not separate from performance. It is the foundation that allows teams to move quickly, think critically, and deliver solutions clients can rely on.
DIGITALISATION AS A FOUNDATION, NOT AN ADD-ON
Digitalisation at Rock Flow Dynamics underpins how work gets done across projects and disciplines. Workflows are designed from the ground up to replace fragmented, manual processes with integrated digital environments.
This approach allows teams to focus on interpretation and decision-making rather than data management. Advanced digital workflows also improve transparency, repeatability, and confidence when sharing results across technical teams and stakeholders.
This digitally driven mindset is something the team actively shares with the wider industry. You can meet Rock Flow Dynamics at EAGE Digitalization in Stavanger from 9-12th March, where the team will be showcasing how modern workflows in tNavigator support transparent, confident decision-making across subsurface projects.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT AS A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Support sits at the core of the Rock Flow Dynamics vision. Rather than stopping at software delivery, the team works closely with clients throughout the full project lifecycle.
Whether supporting day-to-day troubleshooting, optimising workflows, or providing strategic guidance, Rock Flow Dynamics acts as an extension of client teams. This proactive approach helps build long-term trust and ensures solutions continue to deliver value as project needs evolve.
With global offices and a dedicated support organisation, clients can contact the team at any time via tNavigator@rfdyn.com for responsive, expert assistance wherever they are working.
SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF GEOSCIENCE
As subsurface challenges grow in complexity, the next generation of geoscience requires new ways of working. Rock Flow Dynamics supports modern geology and geophysics workflows that integrate interpretation, modelling, and analysis within a single environment.
By enabling probabilistic thinking, uncertainty assessment, and scenario testing, geoscientists are better equipped to explore alternatives and make informed decisions while maintaining scientific rigour.
It is a significant year for geoscience within tNavigator, and Rock Flow Dynamics is proud to be hosting EAGE in one of its hometowns, Aberdeen. The event provides an opportunity to showcase how integrated geoscience workflows are supporting clearer insight and stronger collaboration across disciplines.
INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY ACROSS DISCIPLINES
Integration is one of Rock Flow Dynamics’ defining strengths. By bringing geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, and production into a single consistent framework, teams can work from shared models and data.
This integration reduces handoffs, improves communication, and minimises uncertainty between disciplines, helping teams move faster while maintaining confidence in their results.
“Integration is most effective when it changes how teams work together. By bringing disciplines into a single, seamless environment, we help our clients reduce uncertainty, improve communication, and make decisions based on shared understanding rather than on disconnected outputs.” – Marcus Duffy, Aberdeen
SUPPORTING CLASSIC OIL & GAS PROJECTS
While the energy landscape continues to evolve, classic oil and gas projects remain critical. Rock Flow Dynamics supports these assets by modernising subsurface evaluation without discarding proven geological principles.
By combining established domain knowledge with advanced digital workflows, operators can improve recovery, manage risk, and extend the productive life of existing fields.
Operators can meet a wide range of tNavigator users showcasing diverse projects during the global Technology Summit roadshow. Find your nearest event and more information at www.techsummit.rfdyn.com.
CLOUD AND HARDWARE FOR COMPUTATIONAL SPEED
High-fidelity subsurface modelling requires significant computational power. Rock Flow Dynamics leverages modern cloud infrastructure and hardware acceleration to improve both speed and scalability.
As highlighted in a recent GeoExpro article by Rock Flow Dynamics CEO Vasilii, preserving detailed reservoir models is increasingly tied to graphics processing power. Modern GPUs allow teams to work interactively with high-resolution facies models, removing the need to simplify geology purely to meet computational limits. This shift turns performance into a practical enabler for better subsurface decisions.

EXPANDING INTO THE MINING SECTOR
The principles that underpin success in oil and gas – uncertainty management, integrated modelling, and data-driven decisions are increasingly relevant in mining.
Rock Flow Dynamics is applying its subsurface expertise to mining challenges such as orebody characterisation and resource estimation, helping teams gain clearer insight and make better-informed decisions.
With over 20 years of experience in oil and gas, the team is excited to expand further into mining. Follow tMine by Rock Flow Dynamics on LinkedIn to keep up with the latest developments.
A LIVING VISION
Rock Flow Dynamics continues to evolve with its teams and customers, focusing on integrated technology and digital workflows that help transform subsurface complexity into practical insight.
