Scientific Data Systems Joins EV
Scientific Data Systems Joins EV to Expand Integrated Data Acquisition and Analytics Capabilities

Scientific Data Systems, Inc. (SDS), the Houston-based developer of the Warrior Data Acquisition System, today announced it has joined EV, an industry-leading Visual Analytics company delivering advanced diagnostic and visualisation solutions to the global energy sector. EV is part of the Enersol group, a joint venture between ADNOC Drilling (ADX: ADNOCDRILL) and Alpha Dhabi (ADX: ALPHADHABI) formed to acquire and scale technology businesses that strengthen the energy industry.
The acquisition marks a new chapter for SDS, strengthening its ability to support customers through increased investment, expanded technical capabilities, and access to a broader portfolio of complementary technologies. As part of EV, SDS will continue to build on its reputation for delivering reliable, vendor-agnostic data acquisition solutions while accelerating the development of integrated digital technologies for the energy industry.
Built on 33 Years of Wireline Experience
For 33 years, SDS has been a trusted provider of wellsite data acquisition systems, with the Warrior Data Acquisition System widely recognised as the industry's leading platform for acquiring wellbore logging data. Its open architecture and compatibility with logging tools from nearly all manufacturers have made Warrior the platform of choice for operators and service companies around the world.
Warrior connects to 60% of open-hole and 85% of cased-hole tools across manufacturers, plus 95% of addressable switch systems, through one surface unit and one interface. More than 15,000 Warrior licenses run daily across six continents.
What This Means for Warrior Customers
The principles behind Warrior remain the same: open architecture, interoperability, reliability, and technology built around the needs of the customer.
Warrior continues. The platform, the support team, and the commitment to interoperability remain exactly as they are. The Houston operation continues to develop, manufacture, and support the Warrior system, and existing licenses, service arrangements, and points of contact are unchanged.
As part of EV, SDS will build on that foundation, expand its capabilities, and continue supporting both existing and new customers for the next 40 years.
A Shared Commitment to Interoperability
As part of EV, the proven acquisition technologies behind Warrior will be combined with EV's advanced Visual Analytics, data interpretation, and visualisation capabilities. Together, the technologies create a more connected digital workflow, enabling customers to move seamlessly from data acquisition through to interpretation, visualisation, decision-making, and long-term secure data management.
Leadership Perspective
"For more than three decades, SDS has built its reputation on delivering reliable, vendor-agnostic data acquisition solutions to the well logging industry.
