The company has since launched Leapfrog versions for the geothermal and energy industries.
By bringing together the Geosoft and Leapfrog brands, Seequent now has a leading market position in subsurface geoscience and modelling software solutions with offices in 20 locations and approaching 400 staff around the world serving customers in over 100 countries.
