IHS (NYSE:IHS), in conjunction with Labrador Technologies Inc. (LTI) (TSX
VENTURE:LTX), a Calgary-based software provider, has released its newest version
of eTriever(TM), a Web-based application that enables users fast and effective
mobile access to the most current IHS Canadian exploration and production (E&P)
data and a host of critical reporting capabilities.


Those reports include hydrogen sulfide (H2S) analysis, mud density, drilling
incidents, surface casing and pressure reporting, along with other well and
production, land pipeline and facility data exports. Using these reports,
companies can evaluate surrounding wells and plan their drilling program
accordingly. In addition, eTriever has a direct export to IHS PETRA(R), which
enables a complete analysis solution for customers working or exploring the
Canadian basins.


"The eTriever browser gives customers the flexibility to access IHS Canadian
E&P, land and pipeline data through any Internet-connected computer, or through
their mobile smart phone or tablet devices," said Carl Garrison, vice president
of IHS-Canada. "Essentially, eTriever makes their office portable so they can
access information, monitor drilling activity, and make business decisions
quickly. In addition to the robust data coverage our customers expect, we've
also included some new reports that are critical to trouble shooting and
managing wells and pipelines. No other information provider delivers this data
access and reporting on such a large scale, and we are excited to be able to
offer it to the industry."


"This offering also makes access to our information and reports more attractive
for individual consultants and smaller, start-up companies," said Aaron
Cossette, product manager for eTriever at IHS. "Since users are connecting
directly to the IHS Information Hub, they access the most current data without
requiring a local data store or potentially costly IT support. And instead of
paying for information on a per-report basis, they have unlimited access to the
highest quality information in the industry."


According to Cossette, the mobile access offered by eTriever is particularly
useful for service company workers and executives who may be working remotely in
the field or a board room, since it enables them to monitor activity trends,
prepare business development plans and formulate bids, as well as develop
detailed drilling programs and address drilling and environmental compliance
issues.


"Customers can view their wells in a map and can monitor and track fluid
production. Along with well and production information, they can access critical
data such as pressure, H2S and completion information. Then, they can export
that data to other applications such as Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
The great thing about eTriever," he said, "is it allows for an unlimited number
of exports or reports at no extra cost, since it is subscription based. This
way, clients can be sure they are getting the most accurate picture possible
based on the quantity and quality of the information."


"We are excited to be delivering this powerful solution with IHS, which is known
for its robust E&P data quality and coverage," said Ron Sterne, chief executive
officer of LTI. "We have built eTriever to access a wide variety of information,
including the diverse datasets that oil and gas professionals require. With IHS,
we look forward to providing Canadian oil and gas customers with the best
combination of critical information and mobile data browsing."
