Leapfrog & 3D geological modeling

Turn drillholes, surfaces, structures, and spatial evidence into an interrogable subsurface interpretation.

Models should make uncertainty and relationships easier to see—not bury them behind software. We build clear geometry, preserve data lineage, and deliver outputs that remain useful across the project team.

Leapfrog is a working environment—not a buzzword.

Pogonip Group brings advanced Seequent Leapfrog experience to projects where the geology, source data, and decision context are genuinely complex.

The work extends from data conditioning and structural interpretation through implicit modeling, domain construction, section design, scenario testing, and technical handoff. The objective is a model that can be explained and defended—not simply rendered.

01

Data & structure

Prepare drillholes, contacts, structural measurements, topography, and legacy interpretations for coherent modeling.

02

Implicit modeling

Build and refine surfaces, lithology volumes, fault networks, domains, and alternatives in Leapfrog Geo.

03

Technical review

Use sections, scenes, queries, and sensitivity checks to make assumptions visible to reviewers and decision-makers.

04

Open handoff

Prepare figures, meshes, tables, and browser-ready review assets without abandoning the native technical model.

Project experience includes work for or alongside:

  • Ramboll
  • City of Boulder, Colorado
  • Vale
  • Heidelberg
  • Additional public- and private-sector teams

Explore the interpretation from every angle.

This synthetic model demonstrates the interaction pattern we can use for project communication: rotate the geology, isolate evidence, adjust transparency, and move a live cut through the subsurface.

A model that can be questioned, reviewed, and reused.

01

Unify the evidence

Bring drillholes, mapping, topography, geophysics, legacy sections, and spatial control into one reviewable coordinate framework.

02

Interrogate the interpretation

Trace contacts, compare competing geometries, section the model, and expose the assumptions that matter to the technical decision.

03

Build a defensible model

Develop lithology volumes, structural surfaces, and domains with clear lineage between source data and interpreted geometry.

04

Deliver open outputs

Export sections, meshes, figures, and GIS-ready data so the model remains useful beyond a single software environment.

Not trapped inside the model.

Built for technical review.

What data can be used in a 3D geological model?

Typical inputs include drillhole collars and intervals, mapped contacts, structural measurements, topography, geophysics, geochemistry, imagery, and existing surfaces or meshes.

Can the model be exported for other technical software?

Yes. Deliverables can be prepared as meshes, surfaces, sections, tables, images, and GIS or CAD-compatible files according to the intended downstream workflow.

Can a Leapfrog model be reviewed in a web browser?

Yes. Leapfrog remains the technical source of truth, while selected surfaces and meshes are exported to an open 3D format and optimized for secure browser review. Native .lfview files are proprietary and do not run directly in a web browser.

Is the browser demonstration based on a real project?

No. The Pogonip Basin model is synthetic and exists only to demonstrate how geological relationships can be explored interactively in a web browser.

Bring the subsurface into focus.

Send the drillholes, maps, sections, or model fragments you have. We will define a practical path from source data to a reviewable 3D interpretation.
