SimSci-Esscor, an operating unit of Invensys plc, is announcing that it has signed a perpetual license agreement with ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company to provide its industry-leading real-time optimisation (RTO) software, ROMeo, to Exxon Mobil Corp's worldwide affiliates.

The contract includes software licenses, engineering services, technical support and training.

ExxonMobil will begin implementation of ROMeo as part of its molecule management initiative.

"We are pleased that ExxonMobil has chosen SimSci-Esscor as its provider of real-time optimisation solutions," said Ken Brown, SimSci-Esscor's vice president and general manager.

"Having been selected as a technology partner, we look forward to helping the company realise maximum benefits from our technology".
