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.

• Realistic3Drockdeformation
• Rapidruntimes• Multipleoutputsfor
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.

testing
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.

Use this information to build and analyse model scenarios encountered
in reservoir and mine planning, CO2 storage, waste disposal and other
engineering applications, where it is essential to understand the likely
failure envelope of key structural features.
Evaluate the risk of leakage within reservoir seals, predict mineralisation

capacity and leakage factor of planes and lines.
• Visualize and evaluate critically stressed planes in a 3D
View. Any orientation data selected on the stereo plot
or Mohr diagram is simultaneously selected in the 3D
model.
• Visually display shear and normal stress values for ease
of use on the Mohr diagram when moving the curser
over the stereo plot.
• Use colour mapping to show a colour scale
of the current displayed stress attribute that is
plotted on the stereo plot and Mohr diagram at
a specific depth.
• 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.

Consultancy SoftwareDevelopment TrainingCourses
Get the team of experts on your side
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.
It’s all about reducing the uncertainty in the structural model
