Geoteric

What Geoteric does

Geoteric, registered in England & Wales as ffA (Company No. 02182421), develops and commercialises AI-powered 3D seismic interpretation software for the upstream energy industry. Its platform, built around multi-network deep learning convolutional neural networks for fault and horizon detection, was introduced as a first-to-market offering in 2019 and is organised into five modules — Condition, Reveal, Interpret, Classify, and Validate — supplemented by specialised features such as Frequency Decomposition, Fault Expression, Adaptive Horizons, Adaptive Geobodies, and IFC+. The AI Hub (2024) extends the platform by allowing geoscientists to compare and experiment with different AI networks, parameters, and scenarios within an example-driven interface covering AI Data Conditioning, AI Geological Features, and AI Faults, while the cloud-based Geoteric Stratum sub-brand delivers 3D fault identification and well trajectory planning. The product stack integrates natively with Petrel (Schlumberger) and PaleoScan, embedding into operators' existing geoscience workflows.

Geoteric monetises the platform primarily through enterprise software licensing and subscriptions, augmented by project-based professional services and Collaborative AI training courses (over 150 projects referenced). The company operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion anchored at major industry events (EAGE, IMAGE), targeting National Oil Companies (PETRONAS, Petrobras, PGNiG), international majors (BHP, Perenco), and large independents (Aker BP, Wellesley Petroleum, Sval Energi, Ithaca Energy, Alpha Petroleum Resources, Discovery Energy); a reported base of 100+ E&P customers and 500+ AI projects executed globally supports this distribution scale.

The company is headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, with additional offices in London, Stavanger, Oslo, Houston, Rio de Janeiro, Dubai, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur — a footprint that aligns selling coverage to every major upstream basin. Customer segments principally address oil and gas exploration and production, with emerging adjacent use cases in carbon capture and storage integrity monitoring and offshore-wind shallow geohazard interpretation; pricing is enterprise and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed price list.

Core offering

Geoteric develops and sells AI-powered 3D seismic interpretation software for the energy industry. The platform combines deep learning neural networks with over 30 years of geological expertise to deliver subsurface visualization and interpretation for oil and gas exploration and production. Offerings include the AI Hub, AI Faults (2D and 3D Networks), AI Horizons, the cloud-based Geoteric Stratum, and modular components (Condition, Reveal, Interpret, Classify, Validate) supporting fault detection, horizon tracking, facies classification, and reservoir characterization.

Product overview

Geoteric is an AI-driven 3D seismic interpretation software company offering a modular platform for the energy industry. The core offering centers on the Geoteric AI platform (introduced in 2019) enhanced with AI Hub for network experimentation, AI Faults (2D and 3D Networks), AI Horizons, and AI Integration capabilities. The software is organized into five key modules—Condition (data preparation), Reveal (geological feature analysis), Interpret (structural and stratigraphic interpretation), Classify (facies classification), and Validate (forward modelling)—supplemented by specialized features including Frequency Decomposition, Fault Expression, Adaptive Horizons, Adaptive Geobodies, and IFC+. The cloud-based Geoteric Stratum sub-brand provides scalable 3D AI fault identification. The company has delivered over 500 AI projects globally, supporting major energy companies including PETRONAS and Petrobras.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and flagship.

• PerencocoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 November 2025Multi-year partnership renewal for continued use of AI seismic interpretation tools. The partnership supports Perenco's exploration and development projects across offshore Africa, South America, and beyond, enhancing subsurface understanding and reservoir characterisation.
• PETRONAS CarigaliflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 17 September 2025Landmark three-year agreement signed at IMAGE 2025 in Houston, Texas. PETRONAS Carigali will leverage Geoteric AI across its global operational portfolio for identifying new hydrocarbon prospects, increasing drilling success, and achieving up to 90% reduction in project cycle time. The partnership positions Geoteric as a central driver of PETRONAS' digital transformation and exploration excellence strategy, with PETRONAS in the driving seat alongside Geoteric in developing new technologies and workflows.

Direct peers

• dGB Earth Sciences: Provider of OpendTect, an open-source seismic interpretation platform with AI/machine learning plugins for fault and horizon detection. Direct competitor to Geoteric in delivering AI-augmented seismic interpretation to oil & gas operators globally.
• Eliis: Developer of PaleoScan, a geological interpretation software platform for seismic facies and structural analysis. While Geoteric integrates with PaleoScan, both compete in the same seismic-to-reservoir interpretation workflow used by geoscientists at E&P companies.

Broad incumbents

• SLB (Schlumberger): Global oilfield services giant whose Petrel platform is the dominant subsurface interpretation environment. SLB's Petrel competes with and integrates alongside Geoteric, and SLB has been actively adding AI capabilities to its DELFI E&P platform.
• Halliburton Landmark: Halliburton's Landmark division offers DecisionSpace and SeisSpace seismic interpretation software as part of a broad oilfield services portfolio, competing with Geoteric for geoscience software budget at major E&P operators.
• CGG: Global geoscience company providing seismic data acquisition, processing, and interpretation software (Geovation). Overlaps with Geoteric in subsurface imaging and reservoir characterization services for the oil & gas industry.
• Emerson Paradigm: Subsurface interpretation and reservoir characterization software suite (now part of Emerson) used by oil & gas operators for seismic-to-simulation workflows. Competes with Geoteric in geological and geophysical interpretation.
• TGS: Provider of multi-client geoscience data and subsurface imaging services, including seismic interpretation tools. While primarily data-focused, TGS competes with Geoteric for geoscience software and interpretation budgets at operators.
• PGS (Petroleum Geo-Services): Marine geophysical company providing seismic acquisition and imaging services. While more services-heavy than software-focused, PGS competes for interpretation-related geoscience budgets and has been developing its own AI-based imaging workflows.
• Shearwater GeoServices: Global provider of marine seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation services with growing software and AI capabilities for subsurface characterization. Overlaps with Geoteric in seismic processing and interpretation services.
• ION Geophysical: Provider of seismic acquisition technology, data library, and subsurface imaging software including Orca and Esp reprocessing solutions. Overlaps with Geoteric in seismic interpretation technology for E&P customers.
