The Move suite is the most complete structural modelling and analysis toolkit available. It provides

a full digital environment for best practice structural modelling to reduce risk and uncertainty in

geological models.

The Move suite provides a platform for integrating and interpreting

data, cross-section construction, 3D model building, kinematic

restoration and validation, geomechanical modelling, fracture

modelling, stress analysis and sediment modelling.

The software is designed by geoscientists working in close

collaboration with software developers and enables you to create

valid geological models. Move reduces uncertainty by going

beyond static models, which may be no more than an artist’s

impression.

By addressing time development of structure and checking

geometric and evolutionary feasibility you are three times more

likely to produce the correct result*.

Move can be applied to any geological province or tectonic setting,

including extensional, compressional, and strike-slip basins, as well

as areas that have undergone inversion and salt tectonics.

With fully integrated help and tutorials, Move is easy to use, bringing

your ideas and concepts alive. The software provides you with the

tools to check the geometric and evolutionary feasibility of your

geological models.

Move is the core application of the Move suite. It provides a powerful stand-

alone environment for data integration, cross-section construction and 3D

model building and forms the base for the specialist structural modules for

2D and 3D kinematic, geomechanical, fracture, and sediment modelling

and stress analysis.

The Move application provides a platform which integrates georeferenced

2D and 3D views, allowing over a 100 different data formats to be

combined. The integrated views can be used to construct geologically valid

cross-sections and 3D models using manual and automated tools.

The 2D/3D space provides the best practice environment to develop

models, which can then be directly tested and validated using the kinematic

modules. Use the orientation plots, cross plots, stereonets, rose diagrams

and object property tables to thoroughly investigate the model and

construction process. Move is used by geoscientists and engineers looking

to get maximum value from their data, in any tectonic regime and across

industry sectors.

Our 2D Kinematic Modelling module provides a comprehensive range of

tools to build, balance, restore and analyse cross-sections at a local and

regional scale. Take into account the importance of geological time and its

impact on your decisions on the present day structure.

Kinematic algorithms are used to restore and remove deformation in

geological cross-sections. It allows the un-deformed state to be defined,

while staying true to line length and area balancing principles.

Tools in the 2D Kinematic Modelling module can be used to interactively

determine deformation rates, check the geometric and evolutionary

feasibility of your model, highlight areas of geological uncertainty and

constrain the system evolution.

fracturemodelling

Our Geomechanical Modelling module uses elastic mechanical properties

and physical laws of motion (mass-spring methodology) to mimic 3D rock

deformation. The mass-spring algorithm calculates forces on the point

masses, which govern the point mass trajectories and simulate physical

behaviour of the surfaces during heterogeneous strain (this differs from the

approach used in kinematic modelling – whereby geometric rules govern

point trajectories).

Multiple scenarios with different mechanical properties, rock anisotropies,

pin and fault displacement parameters can be tested and saved in the

workflow for rapid sensitivity testing of different model assumptions.

Use the strain magnitude captured during modelling as an

input for fracture modelling.

Within the Geomechanical Module, pre-defined fault cutoff constraints are shown as red fault surfaces bounded by green (upper) and red (lower) cutoffs.

• Use a flexible workflow with well-defined steps

to complete the restoration.

• Model rock deformation using Young’s

Modulus and Poisson’s ratio.

• Define fault displacement cut-offs to close

fault gaps on the selected surface.

• Apply boundary conditions: projection to target,

restore fault displacements, change area/volume.

• Have explicit control of shear components and elastic

anisotropy, in order to mimic natural rock behaviour.

• Control how quickly the restoration converges

on a solution, and is deemed to be complete.

• Export strain attributes for fracture modelling.

The Fracture Modelling module can use deformation calculated at

incremental time steps as proxies to model evolution of the fracture

system and its properties through time.

Our approach uses sequential restoration and forward modelling to

understand the cause(s) for fracturing, and links observed fractures to a

deformation phase. By creating a geologically realistic discrete fracture

network model you can confidently predict into areas without direct

observations using geological proxies, including static and dynamic

attributes.

The module is an essential tool for geoscientists working in fractured rock

scenarios, who are required to make cost critical drilling decisions for use

in reservoir simulation, gas storage, fracking or geotechnical engineering

projects.

FractureModelling

Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modelling using strain (calculated from restoration) and well data analysis.

• Use stress and strain values derived from the 3D

Kinematic Modelling or Geomechanical Modelling

modules, and static attributes such as curvature, as

proxies for intensity and orientation.

• Use multiple direct inputs such as: well or borehole data,

field and underground measurements to constrain the

DFN.

• Various fracture types can be modelled, including those

due to exhumation, thermal contraction, compaction

and tectonic deformation (faulting and folding).

• Use theoretical models derived from restoration

or forward modelling to define the fracture ‘recipe’.

• Multiple scenarios can be tested against available

field and well or borehole data; these scenarios can

be ranked and fine-tuned so that the parameters are

adjusted for a best-fit scenario.

• Characterise fracture networks by carrying out

quantitative analysis with volumetric and directional

outputs for reservoir simulation, and geotechnical

engineering studies.

• Define and display pore pressure profiles.

• Quickly estimate which fracture sets and fault planes are

more likely to fail or reactivate by looking at the colour

map: warmer colours indicate the faults more favourably

orientated to failure in a user defined stress state.

Our aim is to work in close collaboration with our client

throughout the project. Often the local geology knowledge

comes from the client and we provide insights, techniques

and expertise in structural modelling to help answer specific

questions about the geological evolution and the aspects of

which will have the most effect on your primary objectives.

The scope of our consulting projects includes:

• Building geometrically consistent geological models in

2D and 3D space.

• Testing, validating and improving your existing

interpretation using the kinematic modelling tools in Move

(restoration and forward modelling).

• Determining the timing, geometry and kinematics of trap

formation, fault movement and salt tectonics.

• Stress and Strain analysis and fault response modelling.

• Fracture analysis and fracture network prediction.

• Reservoir or ore body volumetrics and

compartmentalisation.

• Fault seal analysis.

• Reconstructing paleobathymetry and depositional

modelling.

• Rock mass characterisation for underground mining and

block caving.

• Digital field mapping.

• Sediment modelling to predict turbidite deposits.

Consulting projects range in time range from a few days

to several months and we routinely build in a component

of training and technology transfer so that you are able to

replicate the workflows used in the project, and if required,

undertake a complete project independently in the future.

If you have a project that you would like to discuss

then please don’t hesitate to call us or use the

contact page on our website – Get the experts on

your side.

Our experienced team of structural geologists is the largest

in the world and we have worked on a wide range of projects

both onshore and offshore, on all continents and in all

structural settings. Each project involves input from multiple

members of the team and is designed around the specific

requirements of the client. We use Move every day as an

essential tool in our project work.

We rely on the large community of Move users around the

world to help guide the future development programme for

the software. The information that we gather from our annual

user meetings, face to face conversations with our clients

and their daily interaction with the help desk are reviewed

on a regular basis so that we can ensure that we are building

software that closely meets the needs of our clients. At the

same time, our team of experienced consulting geologists

at Midland Valley are pushing the technology forwards by

applying their own innovative ideas to help improve the

workflows and functionality in Move.

We are always keen to hear from you if you have comments,

ideas and suggestions that you would like to see

implemented in the software.

The majority of the improvements and new functionality

in the software are funded directly from the annual

maintenance payments. However, you can also influence

the direction of Move by funding a bespoke development

programme. This might be a small modification to an existing

tool or workflow, or a large, more complex project that will

provide your organisation with a new module or data link to

help streamline your workflow.

Recent client funded projects have included modifications to

the Surface Reshape and Construct Horizon (ribbon) Tools,

plus linking Move to a client whole country GST 3D database

allowing spatial data querying.
