The main rationale is to strengthen Roxar’s product portfolio, enabling us to offer a complete product line of meters and sensors for Production Optimization and Flow Assurance. The Roxar acoustic sand monitor and the Corrosion erosion probe are an example of this. If combined, they will offer unique capabilities - a fast acting sand alarm and an accurate long term prediction of maximum allowable sand rates.
Customers will also benefit from working with a larger and more versatile technology and service partner. With expanded global coverage and a larger serviceand distribution network, customers can expect our tradition of world-class after-sales service and support to continue as the company grows.
Finally, Innovation has always been part of our business. Our combined resources will give us the capabilities for long term and innovative technology development to meet the industry’s current and future challenges. Today, almost 15% of our revenue is spent on R&D.
Whether it is delivering greater returns on your assets through increased production and flow assurance, maximizing reservoir performance, or providing you with the information you need to make better operational decisions, Roxar is ideally positioned to meet your future challenges.
