geoLOGIC and OpenSpirit Collaborate on Providing Open Data Solution CALGARY and HOUSTON, April 6, 2006 – A Canadian leader and an American leader in open data access solutions have teamed up to develop a system aimed at giving energy industry clients more ways to retrieve, see and use the data they need through the software applications of their choice. Calgary-based geoLOGIC systems ltd. and OpenSpirit Corporation of Sugar Land, Texas, today announced they will collaborate to offer a system that combines the benefits of the OpenSpirit products and the geoLOGIC Data Center (gDC). Clients will be able to access data from the gDC using a variety of OpenSpirit and geoLOGIC tools. “We created the gDC as an open system that uses the latest technology, including the newest version of PPDM, to give customers instant access to the most current petroleum data using the software of their choice,” said David A. Hood, President of geoLOGIC. “The collaboration with OpenSpirit means our clients will be able to access our regular and spatially enabled data sets from the gDC through the OpenSpirit Scan Utility, and access and use data through a range of software applications made compatible by OpenSpirit products.” “Like geoLOGIC, OpenSpirit leverages a standards-based approach to provide end users with comprehensive and flexible access to their upstream data,” said Dan Piette, President and Chief Executive Officer of OpenSpirit. “Through this collaborative effort, we will provide integration between geoLOGIC’s outstanding gDC solution and the robust family of OpenSpirit-enabled data stores and applications, including the recently released OpenSpirit PPDM data store connector. I believe this partnership of technology and ideas will yield exciting new strides in the area of exploration and production data management.” The complementary nature of the two companies’ products will be showcased at two major upcoming industry trade shows. OpenSpirit will share the geoLOGIC booth at the annual convention of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in Houston April 9-12, while geoLOGIC will be a guest at the OpenSpirit booth at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists annual meeting in New Orleans October 1-6.
