Since 1997, Roxar in close partnership with PTGeoservices, has been established with a Sales and Support team in Jakarta, and are servicing and supporting several international, national and joint operating oil and gas companies in Indonesia.
With the agreement with the university in Bandung Roxar opened a new chapter in their commitment to the next generation geoscientists and engineers in Indonesia by announcing the agreement with UNPAD with the donation of their reservoir modelling and simulation software RMS and Tempest. The agreement between Roxar and UNPAD at a value of $7.5 Mill USD, does most importantly create a framework for Roxar to assist with lecturers to the students and skill transfer programs through internships allowing UNPAD graduates to work closely with Roxar in Indonesia and the Asia Pacific region.
