Announced today, Schlumberger announces the acquisition of exclusive distribution rights to the oil and gas sector for the MetaCarta map-based geographic information search technologies, from MetaCarta, Inc. Schlumberger will acquire all existing contracts for MetaCarta in the oil and gas sector, resulting in a single source for sales and support of this technology in the industry. Recall... MetaCarta search technology combines map-driven geographic search, geographic referencing, temporal filtering and data visualization capabilities, for both structured and unstructured content, making that content "location-aware".
