Houston, TX (January 18, 2001): Interactive Network Technologies, Inc. (INT) has entered into an agreement with OpenSpirit Corp. to provide Java-based well and section viewers as part of the OpenSpirit Application Integration Framework. The data viewers will be fully integrated, providing interaction with OpenSpirit business objects and services. Source code for the viewers will be distributed as part of the standard OpenSpirit developer's kit release.

"Being able to include the well and section viewers, along with its source code, as part of our system will provide customers with more tools and examples to help them develop integrated applications easily and quickly."

Our products fit together nicely."

The well viewer and section viewer are built upon components of INT's J/GeoToolkit, which delivers high performance graphics capabilities for E&P applications and allows developers to create sophisticated data visualization software while taking advantage of the ease-of-use and platform independence of Java.
