Leapfrog evolution supports geoscience professionals tackling increasingly complex civil and environmental projects

Seequent, The Bentley Subsurface Company has unveiled a considerable update to its industry-leading 3D earth modelling and analysis tool Leapfrog. The new functionality enhances core tools and workflows to improve productivity and help solve a range of geoscience challenges in civil infrastructure and environmental projects.

Highlights for Leapfrog Works include:

  • Ability to run multiple instances of Leapfrog on a single machine for project multi-tasking
  • Visualisation of downhole survey data to aid drilling analysis
  • Attributed mapping data to create better models more quickly

Rachel Murtagh, Product Manager, Geology, Geostatistics and Data Science, Seequent, says: “The industries we serve are solving critical challenges under increasingly tighter economic and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) conditions. Our goal is to help our customers focus as much of their time as possible on the geoscience. The latest update of Leapfrog emphasises enhanced productivity, investment in core functionality and puts in place key capabilities to enable an evolving future."

The user-led evolution of Leapfrog

Leapfrog’s continued customer-led evolution resonates with users and is demonstrated in the number of models created with our software, says Murtagh.

In 2023, Leapfrog users created nearly 200,000 new geological models, providing crucial subsurface insights for mining, civil, energy, and environmental projects.

“We spend a lot of time listening to customers about what they need to succeed, and we iteratively work through a discover-design-build-test loop with expert and early user groups. This ensures we capture the feel and function that works best of our customers allowing them to master new workflows quickly and become experts in dynamic modelling so they can better understand the subsurface and its resources.

“Leapfrog 2024.1 is a strong release that strengthens and broadens key capabilities of Leapfrog and significantly enhances the users’ experience.”

Enabling the future of geoscience with 3D geological modelling

3D subsurface modelling software Leapfrog Works for civil engineering and environmental projects allows users to build and refine models fast.

“Seequent pioneered implicit modelling in geology with Leapfrog, and we're still leading the way. Its user-centric, intuitive, well-designed interface and dynamically linked workflows hugely simplify the updating of models with new data. So, we are continuing to build on what’s made Leapfrog so successful,” says Murtagh.

Leapfrog 2024.1 release updates boost 3D modelling, interoperability, and visualisation capabilities:

  • Users can now run multiple instances of Leapfrog on a single machine, whilst utilising a single seat. This allows users to work faster, working on one project while another one runs simultaneously.

  • Drilling improvements deliver new visualisation and access to survey data. The visualisation of downhole survey data provides additional insights and validation of drill hole orientation to aid drilling data analysis. Features to evaluate and sub-set by geology, drilling orientation, drilling type, hole diameter and more are also enabled. Other drilling improvements focus on saving time when modelling resource grade or contaminants, flexible tools to execute complete workflows, and gaining more comprehensive context for data in the 3D context alongside other geological information.

  • Improvements to geological modelling with new flexibility for inputs help users create better informed models quicker by supporting attribution of mapped data, improve insights into the data points influencing the model surfaces with updates to mesh surface values, and provide better control over vein surfaces when modelling.

Improving interoperability between desktop and cloud

With an eye to the future, the Leapfrog 2024.1 release also includes technologies to improve interoperability between desktop and cloud products, which, in the future, will unlock hybrid workflow opportunities through the new geoscience data platform being built by Seequent.
