Geocap Taken Over by Geodata
Geocap has been taken over by Norway-based Geodata. Geocap specialises in mapping and modelling solutions for use in areas including oil exploration and production. Two years after Geodata acquired GIS-Partner, the GIS integrator is making a new acquisition within the oil and gas sector. Through the purchase of Geocap, Geodata now has access to software and specialist expertise in 3D mapping and modelling solutions.
Geocap’s products are used in oil exploration and production, hydrography for offshore wind farms, boundary calculations and continental shelf mapping worldwide. The solutions are utilised in more than 50 countries. Geocap’s Seafloor system is used globally for the creation of detailed seafloor maps. Other Geocap products are employed by leading Norwegian oil and service companies such as Statoil, Aker Geo, PGS, TGS and Det norske oljeselskap ASA.
Geodata delivers solutions using Esri GIS software. Esri is used by the biggest oil companies internationally to streamline oil exploration and production. 3D modelling of terrain and surfaces produces analysis that allows more efficient exploration activity.
