Rob Logan, Chairman and CEO of Osprey, responded, “INET’s unique data transmission network and platform along with its comprehensive servicing capabilities are a perfect complement for Osprey’s formal entry into the US. INET’s spectrum coverage of nearly 90 percent of energy assets in the US gives us confidence that we can quickly expand in the key basins across North America.”
