Written by Columbus GIS
Thursday, 31 January 2008
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 30 -- Columbus Geographic Systems (GIS) Ltd. today announced that Zion Oil & Gas Inc. (Zion) has purchased Columbus' SmartView to meet their needs for an advanced geographic information system (GIS) application for oil and gas exploration.
Zion is a U.S. oil and gas exploration company, based in Dallas, Texas. The company's shares are traded on AMEX. Zion uses SmartView to improve their capabilities to identify and map geological factors related to potential oil and gas deposits. This mapping draws on a range of data including geologic reports, seismic records and profiles, drilling reports, gravity surveys, geochemical surveys, and regional maps. SmartView's ability to effectively map these elements gives Zion a critical competitive edge in their exploration for oil and gas.
SmartView is a powerful geographical data management software, designed for ease-of-use with maps in a wide range of formats and scales. The software enables users to quickly locate and map points of interest for further analysis, and easily integrates with database-layered maps and geographic elements.
"Zion Oil & Gas is a very important client for us and we are very
pleased to provide them with our innovative GIS solution," said Tsvika Freidman, CEO of Columbus. "Oil and gas exploration critically depends on strong geographical data management. Our technology helps Zion better plan and execute their exploration and drilling, both on land, and off-shore. Following the success of this project, we have begun to target the oil and gas exploration industry more aggressively, and plan to participate in several leading international industry events."
