GeoComputing Stampedes into Canada’s E&P Market with RiVA Platform for Petro-Technical Computing

RiVA’s High-Throughput Private Cloud Architecture Helps E&P Teams Process Massive Datasets Faster While Avoiding the Cost Volatility and Performance Limits of Public Cloud Infrastructure

GeoComputing Group, a leading provider of high-performance petro-technical solutions for the energy sector, today announced the global expansion of its RiVA platform and private cloud offerings to exploration and production (E&P) companies in the Canadian marketplace, providing significant performance and cost advantages over traditional infrastructure and public cloud solutions. As part of the formal introduction of RiVA to this new territory, the company will be attending the GeoConvention 2026 in Calgary, Canada May 11-13. At the event, GeoComputing will be hosting prominent Software Venders applications and data remotely on the RiVA platform.

GeoComputing’s launch into Canada is the third international expansion following operations in Australia and the United Kingdom. Some analysts estimate the Canadian oil and gas market at nearly $40 billion USD with upstream operations capturing nearly three quarters of the market share. Forecast growth of the market is expected to reach $46.24 billion USD by 2031.

GeoComputing’s new Stampede Program will support its expansion into Canada, helping upstream Canadian natural resource companies and service providers extract additional value from their operations. Through an in-depth understanding of the data, applications, workflows and infrastructure, the organization will maximize exploration and production activities for its partners. With more than 200 petro-technical applications currently deployed, including applications from the O&G industry and natural resource service providers/proprietary solutions, the RiVA platform expedites E&P workflows to achieve faster results. Each application is tested, deployed and becomes part of the RiVA landscape, providing an optimal experience for the end user.

"The RiVA platform has improved efficiency for my team by allowing us to run workflows much faster,” said Lana Sharp, Manager Geoscience for Ovintiv. “As a result, we spend more time working with the data, leading to better interpretations and more informed decisions."

“The global energy market is at an inflection point, requiring affordability, reliability, resilience and competitiveness unlike any other time in history,” said Jason Knusden of Nvidia. “Those operating in the Canadian E&P arena are likewise under such expectations. Having a solution like GeoComputing’s RiVA with the capabilities to support private cloud initiatives that control costs while improving performance is invaluable in today’s competitive environment. I believe the opportunities for implementation of RiVA will greatly benefit companies with their geological research and exploration activities by minimizing IT headaches and enabling their teams to focus more on their core competencies.”

GeoComputing’s RiVA private cloud platform delivers unmatched performance and efficiency for the E&P sector. Purpose-built to meet the demanding requirements of geoscience workflows, RiVA overcomes key industry challenges that include poor system performance, complex environments, massive data volumes, dispersed teams, limited technical support and high deployment costs. With its high-throughput architecture and streamlined deployment, RiVA dramatically accelerates processing times, enabling tasks that once took days to be completed in a matter of hours – all while enhancing accuracy, reliability and overall workflow productivity. In addition to supporting day-to-day production workflows, the RiVA platform offers a fully integrated disaster recovery solution to ensure business continuity and data resilience across its operations.

Options for private cloud enablement include single-tenant deployment with all hardware and software resources dedicated to the customer’s organization. In this deployment, GeoComputing manages all aspects of the platform and offers connectivity over the internet or via private data links, providing anywhere connectivity while respecting considerations such as data sovereignty. Additionally, a multi-tenant private cloud option is available with shared hardware and software resources administered by service providers. This option provides even greater cost savings and support while retaining distinct, partitioned storage pools with dedicated server and workstations for the end customer.

“The demands placed upon oil and gas companies, especially when running their exploration and production workflows, are significant from both a technical and a financial perspective,” said John Creevan, CEO of GeoComputing. “Expanding the reach of RiVA to encompass those operating in Canada is a natural progression of our capabilities in helping organizations run these workflows as fast and efficiently as possible. Because RiVA significantly outperforms traditional infrastructure and public cloud solutions at a fraction of the cost, we are opening a whole new opportunity for companies and VARs operating within the energy sector to substantially improve margins while increasing their overall capabilities.”

GeoComputing will be onsite at GeoConvention 2026, with representation at the booths of multiple Software venders, look for the Powered by RiVA sign.
