Seequent
The Company
Seequent builds world-leading subsurface software, helping create a better understanding of the underground to ensure a better world for all.
We are constantly evolving at the forefront of technology to transform how geoscientists work, eliminating barriers to understanding the earth’s challenges by connecting teams with the answers they need.
Every day, our staff in 25+ locations worldwide help our customers in 120+ countries to develop mineral resources more sustainably, design and build better infrastructure, protect the environment, source renewable energy, and help resolve historical challenges such as groundwater contamination and ageing infrastructure.
Our integrated earth modelling, geoscience data management, and team collaboration software enables our customers to see a more complete picture of the earth: because with understanding the underground comes better decisions – for people and the planet.
Headquartered in New Zealand with global reach, Seequent is the subsurface software company within Bentley Systems (the parent company). Together, we are helping build a more resilient world.
