Katalyst Data Management announced that it will acquire the Rio de Janeiro-based oil and gas data product and service provider Geopost Energy. Geopost Energy provides instant online access to integrated data of all types, including seismic, interpretations, and well logs production data to its clients. In addition, Geopost offers continuously updated information and news on all aspects of Brazil’s offshore and onshore E&P activities.

The Brazilian office will act as a hub for Katalyst in South America and add to Katalyst’s global footprint including data centers in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Malaysia.
“The combination of Katalyst’s industry leading organization, global footprint, and expertise with the technology and services developed by Geopost will contribute to a broader solution generating new opportunities in multiple regions. It is a huge opportunity for us as we advance.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
