Explore our Digitalisation Solutions
The Rock Flow Dynamics team are soon heading to Stavanger for the Sixth EAGE Digitalization Conference & Exhibition. tNavigator empowers companies to accelerate digital transformation with fully integrated workflows, open data standards, and high-performance computing. Move seamlessly from subsurface models to business decisions – in one scalable digital environment. Read on to learn more!
What does “Digitalisation” in tNavigator actually mean?
• Giving subsurface teams the confidence to stand behind their decisions
• Relief of frustration from slow, repetitive workflows
• Elevating the experience and skills of the team – not replacing them.
So what does it look like in context?
Python integration- stop bolting on Python, start building with it.
Today, Python is everywhere, but rarely truly integrated. In most subsurface environments, it sits outside the core engine. Scripts are exported, re-imported, stitched together between tools. It works but it can be unstable. It’s disconnected. And it rarely spans geology, reservoir, and production in one continuous workflow.
In tNavigator, Python is not an add-on, it is native. Every module is scriptable. One engine. One language. One end-to-end workflow. From model building, connecting ML models, and running uncertainty analysis to production optimisation, even extracting and analysing results across domains.
Automation lives inside the platform. Our new AI assistant tool can even generate, guide, and optimise scripts across domains, not just within one silo.
It’s not about using Python.
It’s about unleashing it.
OSDU compatibility- your data should flow, not fight back.
Many organisations are investing in OSDU to unify their data foundations. But the reality? Tools still pull data in fragments. Interpretations are copied. Versions multiply. Workflows remain sequential.
The ‘digital ecosystems’ are technically connected, but practically fragmented.
tNavigator connects directly into OSDU-based environments, working with your structured subsurface data not around it. Models, simulations, and production workflows become part of a connected data framework. Updates don’t require restarts. Decisions are not based on outdated snapshots.
When data flows freely and collaboration stops being theoretical.
Super-scalable cloud solutions – run everything. Wait for nothing.
Large ensembles. Multiple realisations. Sensitivities across domains.
Today, teams rely on local desktops or overloaded HPC queues. Large ensembles wait in line. Grid resolution gets compromised. Scenario counts are reduced. Geologists and engineers wait for results and projects slow down.
tNavigator was built for parallelism. Multi-CPU. Multi-GPU. Cloud-native scaling. Run hundreds of models simultaneously. Turn uncertainty workflows from days into hours or minutes.
Scale instantly, from one node to hundreds. CPU or GPU on demand. Only pay for what you use – no hardware uplift. No IT bottlenecks. No compromise. Launch jobs directly from the interface
The question is not “can you run more scenarios?” – it’s: “how fast can you learn from them?”
Digital asset – turn your field into a living digital asset.
For years, the industry has talked about the “Digital Oil Field”.
Real-time optimisation. Predictive intelligence. Connected teams.
But in reality? Most “digital oil fields” are static models spread across disconnected tools
In many organisations, subsurface knowledge lives in files, folders, and individual workstations. Workflows are written, not reproducible. When a parameter changes, the entire modelling chain is repeated manually: Geological Modelling to reservoir simulation followed by production, finally decision making and when new data arrives the chain restarts.
That’s not a digital oil field.
That’s digital paperwork.
tNavigator transforms this into a living Digital Asset. By integrating real-time data, advanced analytics, predictive modelling, and Digital Twin capabilities, tNavigator creates a dynamic digital replica of your field from reservoir to surface facilities.
With Digital Twin workflows you can:
- Simulate and optimise performance
- Predict potential issues before they occur
- Evaluate multiple development scenarios
- Reduce downtime
- Maximise recovery
- Enable proactive maintenance
A true Digital Oil Field is not a collection of tools.
It’s a living, evolving digital asset.
Teamwork- subsurface shouldn’t be a relay race.
Geologists interpret. They hand over.
Reservoir engineers simulate. They hand over.
Production engineers optimise. They hand over.
Each step waits for the previous one. Every update forces repetition. Every handoff introduces delay.
tNavigator unifies geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, and production in one environment, governed by one engine.
tNavigator transforms teamwork into a shared, live environment.
When updates are made in geology, simulation, or production, they propagate across the shared workspace. Team members are notified. Changes are visible. Dependencies are clear.
Everyone works in the same environment. On the same version. With full transparency.
This isn’t collaboration through handoffs.
It’s real-time, multi-domain alignment.

We believe that digitalisation is not about adding more software, more dashboards, or more complexity. It’s about removing the barriers between data, disciplines, and decisions. At Rock Flow Dynamics, we believe the future of subsurface work lies in integrated environments where teams can model faster, collaborate, and turn computing power into real asset value. If you’re attending the EAGE Digitalization Conference & Exhibition in Stavanger, we’d love to continue the conversation and show how tNavigator is helping transform digital ambition into practical results.
