Bentley Systems subsidiary Seequent acquires Eliis

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, through its subsurface company Seequent, has acquired Eliis, a French seismic interpretation software firm. Based in Montpellier, Eliis specializes in advanced software that assists geoscientists in processing and analyzing seismic image data to build detailed subsurface models.

The acquisition integrates Eliis’s international team of over 100 geoscientists, technical experts, and researchers into Seequent. Eliis provides the PaleoScan seismic interpretation platform, which utilizes patented Relative Geological Time technology and AI-assisted features, as well as the PaleoModel industrial co-innovation project for reservoir simulation.

Seequent stated that the acquisition aims to expand its geophysical capabilities and enhance subsurface understanding to address global challenges such as energy security and the energy transition. The Eliis software portfolio complements Seequent’s existing subsurface tools, including the Leapfrog implicit modeling software.
