CHRISTCHURCH, NZ, 23 June 2020 – Global geoscience software company Seequent^[1] has released a Contaminants extension for its 3D modelling and analysis solution Leapfrog Works.

The integrated solution enables geoscientists to easily and intuitively create robust 3D models of subsurface contamination plumes to enable reliable definition and estimates of contamination and its location. The highly visual models can be readily shared with project stakeholders to aid communication and understanding at each stage of contaminated site management.

Seequent’s Environmental Segment Director, Dr Thomas Krom, says: “By combining 3D dynamic geological models with best practice geostatistical methods, we’re enabling people to build, maintain, communicate and track defensible interpretations and mitigation strategies for contamination resolution – enabling better, transparent decision-making.

“Currently, environmental scientists estimate contaminate plumes in a spreadsheet or use GIS, or they rely on one or two people in their organisation to create 3D models. The Contaminants extension leverages Leapfrog’s intuitive workflows to allow users to be productive almost immediately, making industry-standard geostatistics accessible for everyone and valuable on any sized project.”

Leapfrog Works^[2] with the new Contaminants extension^[3] forms part of Seequent’s wider set of contaminated site solutions.  Leapfrog Works allows users to quickly build 3D models from environmental data in hours, which dynamically updates each project lifecycle....
