Verisk Analytics has announced the acquisition of Infield Systems Limited, an independent provider of business intelligence, analysis, and research to the oil, gas, and associated marine industries.

According to Verisk Analytics’ press release, Infield Systems will become part of Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk Analytics business, and will provide services to enhance Wood Mackenzie’s upstream and supply chain capabilities.

“This small, tuck-in acquisition of Infield Systems will help transform our analysis of the upstream supply chain and complement our modeling capabilities.
