Fort Worth, TX (May 10, 2012) – Northern Edge is pleased to announce the acquisition of Volant Solutions, Inc., a software development and consulting firm focused on the upstream Exploration and Production (E&P) industry, to TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company. Northern Edge served as the exclusive advisor to Volant Solutions, Inc. The transaction was led by Justin Fink, a Senior Vice President in the Fort Worth office.

Volant addresses the challenges of managing ever increasing quantities of geotechnical data. Its integration of internal and external data sources with geoscience applications used by the industry enables scientists and engineers to reduce interpretation cycle time and increase efficiency. EnerConnect™ employs a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to deliver a modular software platform composed of application adapters, transformation services and a business workflow engine that creates a robust integration environment targeted at the Upstream Energy market.

“Volant Solutions is adept at helping clients connect many types of well data to multiple geoscience applications,” stated John Adamick, Senior Vice President of Geologic Products. “Their EnerConnect™ and ENVOY™ software solutions are unique products that provide tremendous benefits to oil and gas companies. We are excited by the opportunity to help Volant grow their business and to simultaneously increase the connectivity of TGS well data sets.”

Scott Schneider, CEO of Volant Solutions also commented, “We look forward to working with TGS to integrate TGS’ broad suite of data products with our integration technology in order to provide customers with more efficient access to and usage of TGS data products within their interpretation processes. Volant has developed a robust software solution that facilitates the integration of the leading geoscience databases and applications – the key ingredient that we’ve been missing is the tight integration with vendor data. With the combination of TGS and Volant, we are now capable of providing geoscientists with complete visibility into a vast array of data products directly from their desktops. Volant is extremely excited about the growth potential of the combined companies.”
