He added: “Our ambition to have embedded services with our clients is also secured and post-acquisition over 70 percent of Group revenue subscription based.”

“The acquisition by Westwood Global Energy, who have a firm footing in the global energy market analytics space, will allow RigLogix to thrive, benefited by a new home that complements its comprehensive insights and innovative on-demand data.”
