Exprodat adds Planimeter Polygon support to Team-GIS KBridge

London, United Kingdom, 25th June 2010 – Exprodat today announces the release of version 202 of Team-GIS™ KBridge, software for converting data between Seismic Micro-Technology’s KINGDOM® and ArcGIS® Desktop from ESRI®. Team-GIS KBridge allows users to transfer their KINGDOM well, culture, planimeter polygon, seismic and interpretation data to ArcMap™, and vice versa. For further information see www.exprodat.com/software/TGK.

Team-GIS KBridge is designed to provide a low cost alternative to heavyweight data integration technologies, enabling end-users to take control of data connectivity rather than rely on enterprise level connections. With this streamlined data integration workflow users are able to deploy the powerful spatial analysis capabilities provided by ArcGIS on their KINGDOM project data.

Exprodat’s Technical Director, Chris Jepps, says, “The great thing about Exprodat is that we can be very reactive to customer requirements. Over the last few months our customers have told us that being able to move planimeter polygon data between SMT’s KINGDOM and ArcGIS would be really useful – so we’ve responded rapidly and put out a release of KBridge that supports this unique data type. It’s amazing that integrating data between ArcGIS and the interpretation suites commonly seen within the E&P sector can still be a challenging, complex and time consuming task. With Team-GIS KBridge users can easily import KINGDOM data to their ArcMap session. Data can be imported to shapefile or File Geodatabase formats, and is automatically tagged with ArcGIS metadata.”

Exprodat’s Team-GIS product suite is made up of a number of extensions to ESRI’s ArcGIS Desktop that provide ‘out-of-the-box’ functionality designed specifically for the needs of the petroleum sector. Team-GIS software is data independent and allows E&P companies to integrate vendor data with in-house datasets for use in GIS-based spatial analysis.

ArcGIS is a scalable family of software products comprising a complete geographic information system (GIS) built on industry standards. ArcGIS is used for the creation, management, integration, analysis, display, and dissemination of spatial data. Visualization, editing, and analysis, along with advanced data management, distinguish the ArcGIS software family as the leading GIS software. Much more than a specialized offering for a small niche of specialists, ArcGIS is designed as a scalable system that can be deployed in every organization, from an individual desktop to a globally distributed network of people.
