The Roxar RMS Suite is a software toolkit for geomodelling[1] and designing reservoirs. It is primarily designed for use in the oilfield industry, helping engineers gather data from a wide variety of sources to efficiently build reliable reservoirs. In the program, the workflow consists of Internal Programming Language scripts,[2] which execute emulations of certain models, varying one parameter, whilst keeping the rest consistent.[3]

In version 6, STORM’s stochastic modelling was merged with structure and fault modelling capabilities. Also introduced was the 'Workflow Manager' tool, which allows users to build and update reservoir models quickly.
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| RMSwellplan | A user friendly oil well planning tool. |
| RMSflowsim | A flow simulator that integrates dynamic reservoir data with the static model. |
| RMSwellstrat | A well correlation tool. |
| RMSfaultseal | A module designed to analyse and provide data on the optimal ways to seal faults. |
| FracPerm | A fracture modeller/simulator. |
RMS2009 has a new user interface. Other key features of the release include improved structural modelling, data import and a new local model update module. It also has real-time well monitoring.
RMS 2010 was released in February 2010. RMS 2010 comes with major improvements across the entire workflow, with a wide-ranging makeover of the well correlation tools, new model building and property modelling tools and improved 3D gridding and better communication with external simulators.
RMS 2011 was released in May 2011. RMS 2011 comes with more new features than any previous RMS version and provides modellers with enhancements to the seismic architecture to allow direct reference between the reservoir models and the 3D and 4D seismic data that the interpretation and modelling is based on. Key highlights of RMS 2011 include new tools to model complex geologies and incorporate 4D seismic into the workflow; geological well correlation improvements; new fracture modelling capabilities; and usability and integration features that make RMS 2011 even more accessible and easy to use, while at the same time realistically modelling some of the world’s most complex geologies.
