Assessing offshore data today in preparation for tomorrow

Recorded live at Oceanology International in London, this video features an on-stand interview with the Seequent team, exploring how subsurface intelligence is supporting offshore and marine projects worldwide.

Celia Kano speaks with Matt Grove, Account Manager, and Fiamma Giovacchini, Technical Specialist, about Seequent’s role as Bentley Systems’ subsurface company and how their tools help organisations better understand what lies beneath the seabed. The conversation covers how geophysical, geological, and geotechnical data are brought together to build reliable ground models and support informed offshore decision-making.

Key applications discussed include offshore wind farms, cable routing (inter-array, export, telecom, and pipelines), ground and thermal modelling, UXO considerations, and emerging opportunities in dredging and port projects.

The discussion also highlights industry-wide trends such as increasing data volumes, the growing role of automation, and the practical use of AI—emphasizing that AI is a valuable tool, but not a replacement for expertise or existing proven workflows. The team also discusses workforce challenges, risk management, and the need for more connected, multidisciplinary ways of working.

Looking ahead, Matt and Fiamma share Seequent’s vision for the offshore space, including greater use of cloud-based platforms, faster data access, improved interoperability, and new development initiatives—particularly around dredging workflows.

This video offers valuable insight for anyone working in offshore wind, marine infrastructure, geotechnical engineering, or subsurface data management.
