ABOUT ZEDI

CALGARY, ALBERTA (Marketwire – April 24, 2013) – Zedi Inc. (the "Company" or “Zedi”) (TSX VENTURE: ZED) – Centrica Energy Upstream implemented approximately C$1 million of Zedi technology that was purchased in late 2012 to automate 76 existing measurement sites across Western Canada. These sites were retrofitted with Zedi’s automated field devices, Smart-Alek and Zedi SCADA, in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, Centrica Energy will use the Zedi Access online platform to remotely monitor and control these sites.

“Implementing Zedi’s technology is an easy way to make sure our field personnel are making the best use of their time. They can quickly determine which sites require their attention and are no longer driving to sites that are working well. They can make changes remotely and, most importantly, they can quickly zero in on those sites that are down or having production issues”, says Dave Martin, Cost Control Specialist of Centrica Energy Upstream. “In today’s natural gas environment, using technology at site is an important tool to help us reduce operating costs while maximizing production volumes. We like the fact that Zedi can provide the equipment, engineering, web portal and ongoing support for our teams. It made it easy and cost effective to implement, as shown with installation completed in 8 weeks across northern and central Alberta”.

With Zedi’s field technology and Zedi Access online platform, production data moves automatically from the well head to Zedi Access in real time. The consolidation of data on one secure website gives customers the ability to make instant decisions and changes on their wells, track trends and produce reports on an individual site or an entire field. This helps with prioritization of activity to reduce operational costs, production downtime and exposure to regulatory audits. The ability to automate the import of Zedi Access daily volumes to a field data capture platform has freed up the operators from manually entering numbers to focus on production and other corporate priorities.

“We applaud the leadership role taken by Centrica Energy to reduce costs in a tough commodity price market”, says Larry Spagnolo, Senior Vice President of Market and Customer Solutions for Zedi. “Their choice of Zedi’s technology validates our belief that sound strategic planning of operational practices can lead to becoming one of the lowest cost producers, which is what it takes for them to achieve their corporate goals”.

CALGARY, Alberta – (January 25, 2013) – Zedi Inc. launched its redesigned online production data platform, Zedi Access on January 24, 2013. Created with input from a team of customers, the new Zedi Access offers a fresh interface with an improved design and increased mobile capability making it more intuitive to use.

“Our customers work in a demanding environment with labor shortages, strict regulations, and volatile commodity prices.

With this new design, we’ve created an improved platform where customers will get that visibility and get their data faster and easier than before”.

Regardless of the measurement device used, SCADA, EFM or chart, Zedi Access gives oil and gas producers a common online platform, with increased mobile capability, to access their data, remotely control their sites, and report on activities and trends regardless of whether they are in the field or at head office. Throughout the day decisions can be made to act on or prioritize activities thus reducing operational costs, production downtime and exposure to regulatory audits.

This redesign comes on the heels of Zedi’s significant Oracle upgrade to their database infrastructure and is part of their ongoing commitment to innovation and cloud-based computing.

CALGARY, ALBERTA (Marketwire – January 21, 2013) – Zedi Inc. (the "Company" or “Zedi”) (TSX VENTURE: ZED) - Zedi completed a purchase agreement in late December 2012 with Crescent Point Energy (“Crescent Point”) to equip Crescent Point’s new drill program near Viking, Alberta, with the Zedi SilverJack artificial lift system. Crescent Point also agreed to purchase Zedi Oil Well Test for nearly 250 active well sites. This purchase represents a significant investment in Zedi’s oil offerings.

“Crescent Point is always eager to find innovative methods to improve production and deploy field technology”, says Neil Smith, Vice President Engineering and Business Development from Crescent Point Energy. “We’ve adopted Zedi SilverJack because our installation time is now hours instead of days, and our operations team finds the control panel easy to use both at the well and remotely. This flexibility improves our overall performance and saves costs.”

Crescent Point will begin testing their wells using Zedi’s Oil Well Test in the first quarter of 2013. Zedi Oil Well Test is expected to allow for the completion of more tests with less effort, which is expected to reduce the frequency of orifice plate changes and eliminate data errors that happen if an operator is not able to be on site at a specific time. The deployment of this new technology is expected to help Crescent Point meet their 2013 growth goals.
