integrated 3D modelling using
Leapfrog Geothermal
3D modelling and visualisation for the geothermal industry.
GNS Science have experienced professionals from all geothermal
disciplines, and we can build integrated 3D models for a
comprehensive understanding of your geothermal reservoir.
Leapfrog Geothermal is an innovative
3D modelling software developed
by GNS Science and ARANZ Geo
specifically for the geothermal industry.
It provides a 3D interface for the
visualisation of geothermal datasets,
and tools to create comprehensive
models of the field geology, including
stratigraphy and structures, rock
properties and reservoir parameters.
This software accelerates geothermal
modelling for efficient and effective
decision making for all stages of
field use: exploration of a new
field, well targeting, reservoir
development and production, and
assisting with the management of
future development strategies.
at a glance
Innovative Production of grid-free
3D implicit geological and numerical
models directly from data through
a process of refinement. Model
generation at a range of different
resolutions.
Versatile Intuitive and user-friendly to
build, maintain and update models.
Logical work flows. Multiple model
operation in conjunction for quick and
easy comparison. Automatic updating
when data is modified.

Integrated Interoperable with a large
variety of data formats. Modelling of
surface and subsurface geology, as
well as faults and structural features,
physical properties, hydrothermal
alteration and reservoir parameters.
Measured and user interpreted data
are stored separately to maintain
consistency, and are then merged to
generate alternative scenarios.
Efficient Maximising understanding
of geothermal data within moments.
Implicit modelling approach
dramatically improves processing
speed and data capacity. Accelerated
3D model generation and updating in
near real-time.
Appealing A clean and simple
interface. Flexible modelling tools in
a high quality visual interface. A free
viewer to distribute modelling results
in a true 3D platform.
Geothermal science - power renewed.

applications for the geothermal industry
Geothermal modelling Modelling
of complex geological structures,
including intricate fault networks.
Input data includes borehole data,
sections and maps, GIS layers and
point data through to the addition of
user-defined trends and edits. The
geological model correlates with
hydrothermal alteration models and
numerically interpolated parameters,
such as rock properties (e.g. porosity,
density) and reservoir parameters
(e.g., temperature, pressure) to aid
visualising interaction.
Well planning Flexible well targeting
and reservoir management tool
for visualising future development
strategies. Predictive borehole data
and conditions can be interpolated
from geological and numerical
models.
Resource Management Automatic
updating of existing models in
near-real time, allowing scientists
and developers to test alternative
scenarios for better management of
the resource.
Flow modelling A TOUGH2 interface
is being developed. Data modelled
within Leapfrog Geothermal can be
populated into TOUGH2 grids and
exported in a form compatible with
other reservoir modelling software.
