Leapfrog GeothermalComprehensive geological modelling for the geothermal industry.

Developing a sustainable geothermal resource relies heavily on understanding the geology.

Are you able to effectively use geology in your decision making? Can you quickly make use of new information?

A lack of geological understanding increases error and risk.

• Are you making decisions based on an out-of-date understanding of the geology?

• Do you fully understand the geology of the geothermal field?

• Is your geological modelling using all the data produced by your drilling and exploration programme?

• How accurate are your resource estimations and production forecasts?

• Are you able to efficiently manage the geothermal reservoir and prevent local depletion?

• Are you able to easily explain your complex model to stakeholders and funders?

Leapfrog Geothermal is a comprehensive 3D geological modelling tool designed specifically for geothermal development. In early stages of development the software assists geologists in deciding on the best locations for wells, and in later stages geological understanding can be used to improve reservoir management.

The greater insights that Leapfrog Geothermal provides, lead to more efficient decision making at all stages. Leapfrog Geothermal provides geologists and reservoir engineers with the right tool for the job, increasing confidence and reducing risk.

What are your concerns?

Designed by the NZ geothermal communityLeapfrog Geothermal is designed and developed in collaboration with the New Zealand geothermal community, with Contact Energy, GNS Science and the University of Auckland being key contributors. This collaboration has produced an innovative solution suited to the needs of the global geothermal market. Transfering geological knowledge to reservoir models

With Leapfrog Geothermal, geological knowledge is easily transferred from geological to reservoir models – both TOUGH2 and FEFLOW. The results of the reservoir simulations can then be visualised using Leapfrog Geothermal’s exceptional 3D graphics. Audit & justify decisions

Leapfrog Geothermal’s modelling approach is self-documenting, allowing you to see what modelling decisions were made. Borehole planning

Optimise the depth, location, direction and drilling scenarios, then easily create reservoir models which are consistent with the geoscience model, ensuring conceptual inconsistencies are minimised.

Save time, reduce costs, stay on track

Rapidly arrive at more robust models that accelerate projects, enable better borehole planning and reduce planning costs. With the flexibility to model and test alternative hypotheses, time can be spent on evaluation, not data processing and software manipulation. Dynamic modelling means the latest data can be easily incorporated, keeping models up-to-date with the latest information. Intuitive & organised

Leapfrog Geothermal guides users through the modelling process with easy, logical workflows that ensure models are developed consistently, increasing reliability and robustness. A central chronology table sets the geological sequence of model components. Complex faults and stratigraphy are all described chronologically. Additional workflows support the modelling of hydrothermal alteration, temperature, pressures and feed zones. Working with recognised terminology and workflows means users can focus on understanding the geothermal system, rather than deciphering complex software.

Developed in collaboration with the New Zealand geothermal community, Leapfrog Geothermal has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the geothermal industry. Leapfrog Geothermal is used in all stages of field exploration, development and production. With Leapfrog Geothermal you can:

• Increase confidence in your modelling process

• Quickly visualise, understand and communicate your geological risk with stunning 3D graphics

• Use geological understanding in reservoir modelling – TOUGH2 & FEFLOW

• Enhance borehole planning

Innovative key featuresFast construction of interlocking geological modelsLeapfrog Geothermal includes a powerful new engine for extremely fast construction of interlocking geological models. Intuitive workflows enable you to effortlessly model veins, faults, intrusions, deposits and erosions.

Dynamic modelling Easily incorporate new data to make sure your model is constantly updated with the latest information. Reservoir modellingCreate TOUGH2 and FEFLOW simulation inputs which reflect geological models. TOUGH2 models can be parameterised including rock types, generators, basement and boundary conditions. Once TOUGH2 simulations are run, time series results can be visualised in 3D. Borehole planningEasily plan and target boreholes within the Leapfrog 3D environment. Locate a new borehole and control the various aspects of directional drilling. Speaks your language Geologists can easily build dynamic models using familiar terms like stratigraphic layers, chronology and topography. Training & project assistance Training in Leapfrog Geothermal is available now to quickly get you up to speed. We also provide project assistance, implementation and hot desking to further accelerate your modelling.
