To Whom It May Concern:

Trade publications have claimed that there are several key players and vendors in the data monetization market for the oil and gas industry. (https://investoropinion.co.uk/oil-and-gas-data-monetization-market-research-report-2019-2025-halliburton-schlumberger-informatica-corporation-sap-se/) One of these key players/vendors is Drillinginfo.

Therefore, I am requesting the following records related to Drillinginfo:


- All digital and paper correspondence (such as electronic mail and paper mail) between the Federal Trade Commission and representatives from Drillinginfo from January 1, 2016 to present that mention oil and gas. Please include any attachments in responsive digital forms of correspondence.

- A copy of all Merger Review documents that directly name or involve Drillinginfo.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. It will be used in the course of reporting for Motherboard, VICE’s science and technology website (www.motherboard.vice.com).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
