4D imaging for China
Qingdao Technology Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Digital Gas, Inc., has signed an exclusive agreement to utilize oil
& gas imaging technology developed by Synthetic Aperture Imaging Technologies (Saitech). Saitech will utilize the
technology and its application for the prediction of rock properties for Digital's Qingdao Technology and its
partners in China after preliminary fieldwork resumes later this month.
Saitech describes the technology that will be used in China for Qingdao Technology and its strategic partner,
Dongsheng Corporation, as "4D". It will represent the state of the art in seismic analysis and will result, according
to Saitech CEO Tim Davies, in there being "no data set of comparable quality to Dong Sheng's anywhere on
earth."
"One of the three largest companies in Canada has already used an early version of the technology with unqualified
success to more than double the recoverable frequency of their existing seismic", added Davies, who has used the
technology in his own drilling company and is 13 for 13 in predicting the presence of the target zone and the limits
to the zone of interest.
Qingdao Technology is a newly formed Alberta corporation that will conduct the oil & gas business of Digital Gas
in China, including the Dongsheng contract.
Deloitte & Touche LLP of Calgary, Alberta was approached by Digital in this matter and has offered to assist the
new company in the preparation of a formal business plan, which will be used later this month as the new company
plans to raise money for its China business in Hong Kong.
The company is seeking up to $ 25 mm through a private placement of common shares. Deloitte would also offer
financial and income tax advice and consulting services with respect to the financial activities of the new company,
100 % of the shares of which will be distributed to Digital shareholders after Deloitte analyses the new corporate
structure and advises on specific financial transactions that Qingdao Technology may wish to enter into.
