The agreement will allow further growth and technology adoption throughout the term of the relationship, and Hess will have the opportunity to incorporate new Paradigm technology as it is developed.

Paradigm will provide training, both onsite and from regional Paradigm support centers, as well as onsite application support to Hess employees. Additionally, Paradigm will deliver onsite consulting services on projects, such as data migration and workflow best practices.

Scott Heck, Hess's senior vice president of exploration and production technology, said: "This new relationship with Paradigm is an investment in optimizing our petrotechnical software toolkit."
