The proceeds from the fund raising will be used to provide additional working capital.ViaLogy has recently announced that, in addition
to the development of its Sensor Policy Manager (SPM*) product for the integration of sensor
information for the defence and security
industries, it is developing its patented technology for two important applications in the oil
& gas industry.
ViaLogy's Chairman, Terry Bond, said: "In the difficult financial climate that exists
nationally and globally we are pleased that the
share placing was completed satisfactorily. The additional funds will enable us to continue to
exploit opportunities to commercialise
ViaLogy's technology.
"This is an exciting time for ViaLogy. Successful results from the drilling of the first
"Vialogy well" in Texas next month should have
a significant impact on the oil exploration industry. The well's location and the reservoir's
size were recalculated according to the
Vialogy analysis using our patented QRI* technology. These more accurate analysis and location
techniques should result in strong demand for
use of our technology, and could save the oil & gas industry considerable amounts."
"September will also see the start of proof-of-concept flights to image underground
metallic pipelines using airborne ground-penetrating
sensors incorporating our QSUB* product. This will enable pipeline companies to more
cost-effectively monitor pipeline location and
condition."
"Our focused sales efforts for SPM*, our sensor integration product for security and
surveillance systems, should bring significant near
term market entry as the result of our partnerships with Cisco, Axia Supernet, SAIC, and
others."
