TerraSpark Geosciences Extends Integration Of Insight Earth Solution Using OpenSpirit Software Developer Kit
HOUSTON & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TerraSpark Geosciences announced today that it is developing an application adapter using the OpenSpirit® software developer kit (SDK), which will connect the company's Insight Earth solution to the OpenSpirit-integration platform. The Insight Earth solution will be able to reach out to any OpenSpirit-enabled data store to access data and share interaction events among applications.
Commenting on the announcement, Geoffrey Dorn, PhD., President of TerraSpark Geosciences, "By adding OpenSpirit connectivity to Insight Earth, we are making it easier to move data in and out of Insight Earth, which enables geoscientists to leverage the best-of-breed technologies that TerraSpark offers. Additionally, this new offering will give our customers a way to augment their multi-vendor workflows through the seamless fit of Insight Earth technology and workflows into their existing environment."
The OpenSpirit-enabled application adapter will serve as a complement to Insight Earth's existing integration benefits – using SDKs to transfer data to and from Insight Earth.
"We appreciate that the TerraSpark team sees the value of incorporating the OpenSpirit data interoperability framework as part of their solution foundation," said Dan Piette, President & CEO of OpenSpirit. "Insight Earth is a world-class data interpretation solution, and this enhanced level of integration will give geoscientists the flexibility to create more robust and value-added workflows using data from across their petro-technical environment."
TerraSpark is developing the OpenSpirit adapter in response to the E&P industry's demand for open-standards software tools that can connect disparate systems, driving cross-discipline collaboration. The company's new adapter will be available in late 2008.
The Insight Earth solution provides TerraSpark's customers with powerful, differentiating tools that take 3D visualization and interpretation to the next level — enabling geoscientists to do true volume interpretation of both structure and stratigraphy, not just the usual 'one-slice-at-a-time' method. Each component of Insight Earth supports, informs and enhances the others throughout the interpretation workflow, which speeds up the entire process and increases the overall quality of the analysis and interpretation results.
