Today, Rock Flow Dynamics proudly marks our 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of innovation and growth in reservoir modelling, simulation and digital solutions for subsurface modelling.
Founded in 2005, RFD has evolved from a visionary start-up into a trusted technology partner for hundreds of energy companies worldwide. Our flagship product, tNavigator, has become one of the most advanced integrated reservoir modelling and simulation platforms in the industry, known for its speedy performance, intuitive interface, and cross-domain integration.
Over the past 20 years, RFD has grown its global footprint, with offices and partners across more than 35 countries. Our commitment to R&D and user collaboration has driven continuous enhancements to our software portfolio, enabling our clients to making faster, smarter, and more efficient decisions across the full asset lifecycle.
Vasilii Shelkov, CEO of RFD said:
“Over the past two decades, we’ve transformed from a modest team of five dreamers into a powerhouse of 500 innovators from around the globe. Our mission? To revolutionise integrated reservoir modelling by replacing outdated, sluggish, and overpriced tools with cutting-edge solutions. Our flagship product, tNavigator, stands as a testament to this vision—an advanced reservoir modelling and simulation platform that seamlessly integrates geoscience, reservoir, and production engineering disciplines. But we’re just getting started. If you’re still pushing the same old “industry standard” toys without investing in R&D like we do, expect to hear from us soon. Here’s to the relentless, hardworking, and hardcore tNavigators—happy anniversary!”
As part of the anniversary celebrations, we will host a series of global user events, webinars, and product showcases throughout the year, highlighting the latest innovations in tNavigator and our vision for the future of digital subsurface technology.
With a strong foundation and a forward-looking approach, RFD is poised to lead the next wave of technological transformation in the energy sector.
