4 Consultancy It s all about reducing the uncertainty in the structural model. 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 palaeobathymetry and depositional modelling. Rock mass characterisation for underground mining and block caving. Digital field mapping. Consulting projects range in duration 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. Our experienced team of structural geologists and petroleum engineers has 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. Our aim is to work in close collaboration with our client throughout the project. Often the knowledge of local geology comes directly from the client and we provide insights, techniques and expertise in structural modelling to help answer specific questions about the geological evolution, and reduce the uncertainty in the geological model. 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. 6 CONSULTANCY CONSULTANCY 7

11 Geomechanical Modelling Mass-spring restoration of surfaces and volumes using physical properties. 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. Have explicit control of shear components, 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. Apply boundary conditions: projection to target, restore fault displacements, change area/volume. Within the Geomechanical module, pre-defined fault cut-off constraints are shown as red fault surfaces bounded by green (upper) and red (lower) cut-offs. 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 where geometric rules govern point trajectories). Multiple scenarios with different mechanical properties, 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. Realistic 3D rock deformation Save scenarios Rapid run times Strain capture Multiple outputs for Fracture Modelling Strain attributes visualized on a horizon. Left: Horizontal displacement Right: E1:E

12 Fracture Modelling Discrete fracture network (DFN) generation, analysis and direct output of properties on a GeoCellular model. 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. Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modelling using strain (calculated from restoration) and well data analysis. 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) of 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. 3D DFN modelling Generate realistic fracture models Applications in many sectors For reservoir simulation and geotechnical engineering studies This 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, mining or geotechnical engineering projects.

13 Fault Response Modelling Boundary element modelling to simulate displacement on faults, and geomechanical analysis of surrounding fracture systems. Observational surfaces displaying the results of a simulation on thrust faults with a tapered slip distribution, colour mapped on faults. The induced displacement vectors are shown by the black arrows in the maximum lengthening direction (E1), colour mapped on the surfaces. Displacement on faults is simulated using an analytical solution for triangular dislocations in an elastic half-space, which allows the depth of faults to be considered in the model. Use of triangular dislocation elements allows complex geometries of faults and other discontinuities to be modelled, including enclosed bodies like salt diapirs and igneous intrusions. Displacement on faults can be defined for individual triangular elements of meshes or calculated from a regional stress field. Pressure perturbations around reservoirs can be simulated by calculating the displacement induced by pressure acting on a triangulated surface. Displacement, strain and stress are calculated at observation points in surrounding rock volume with defined elastic and mechanical properties. Different fracture sets can be generated and compared to the orientations of real fractures. Shear and normal stress components can be calculated for fault and fracture systems. Optimal fracture orientations can be derived by using the shear and normal stress components to identify the fracture with highest Coulomb Stress. Relationships between shear and normal stress can provide information about fracture intensity, mode of failure and reactivation potential. Fracture sets can be filtered based on fracture stability and Coulomb Stress failure, allowing the fractures exceeding the failure criteria to be easily visualized. The Fault Response Modelling module is a highly versatile tool that can be used to validate your interpretation, identify highly fractured zones and realistically model stress perturbations around faults and other discontinuities. The module considers mechanical properties to reproduce faultrelated deformation and provides a quantitative assessment of the surrounding fracture system. Faulting is simulated using a boundary element method with triangular elastic dislocations. This approach allows complex faulting scenarios to be quickly tested and evaluated. Strain and stress fields calculated using the boundary element approach, or derived from the Strain Capture tool in Move, can be used to predict fracture orientations. Resolving the shear and normal stress components allows failure potential of individual fractures and nearby faults to be assessed. Calculate the displacement on faults from a regional stress field Compute and visualize displacement, strain and stress induced by faulting Predict spatial distributions of sub-seismic fault and fracture systems Assess the reactivation potential of faults and fractures Predicted orientations of joints and shear fractures around a relay ramp in a normal fault system. The surface is colour mapped based on Maximum Displacement

14 Fault Analysis Quantitative analysis of fault throw, juxtaposition and seal through geological time. Create hanging wall and footwall fault cut-offs highlighting interpretation inconsistencies and allowing subsequent analysis. Plot 3D throw colour maps and create 2D strike projections (throw profiles) for multiple faults. Define lithologies and Vshale in the Stratigraphy and Rock Properties database to create juxtaposition diagrams and plot shale gouge ratio in 3D. Statistically analyse fault scaling properties, including throw/length and cumulative frequency. Calculate heave polygons for all faults and horizons in a model. Create instantaneous fault-growth curves to review movement history of faults. Restore model to analyse palaeo-juxtaposition and fault sealing. Create triangle diagrams that account for acrossfault thickness variations, or using two wells. Faults colour mapped for throw (furthest away surface) and for sand-shale juxtaposition created from a projected well (nearest surface). Our Fault Analysis module allows rapid evaluation of throw distribution, across-fault juxtaposition and fault sealing capacity in 3D. Combined with statistical analysis of fault displacement and scaling relationships, the tool provides powerful validation of geological interpretations and insights into the economic significance of faults. Uniquely, the module can be integrated with restoration workflows using Move s 3D Kinematic Modelling and Stress Analysis modules to provide a complete temporal fault displacement and seal investigation. This workflow delivers key information on potential baffles or conduits to flow at the time of hydrocarbon generation and migration. The sealing potential of faults and joints encountered in a wide range of mineral and ore systems can also be investigated using this approach. Complete temporal fault displacement and seal analysis Visualize throw, juxtaposition and shale gouge ratio on fault surfaces Statistical analysis of fault scaling properties Triangle diagram coloured for Shale Gouge Ratio (SGR) for a well-derived sedimentary sequence with simulated across-fault growth. The cross section to the right shows lithological juxtaposition and SGR, denoted by a black line, for a defined value of throw. Displacement analysis plots showing along-strike throw profiles for multiple faults (green) and a cumulative profile for all faults (black)

15 Stress Analysis A graphical tool for analysing and understanding the stress response behaviour of fault and fracture systems. Compute stress attributes for slip tendency, dilation tendency, fracture stability, slip stability, retention capacity and leakage factor of planes and lines. Visualize and evaluate critically stressed planes in a 3D view. Any orientation data selected on the stereoplot 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 cursor over the stereonet plot. Use colour mapping to show a colour scale of the current displayed stress attribute that is plotted on the stereonet 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. Inversion of fault kinematic indicators to derive a regional stress state. Top: Fracture set coloured according to stress attributes. Bottom: Colour mapped stereoplot and Mohr diagram. The Stress Analysis module enables you to rapidly visualize and evaluate 3D stress states and potential fault and fracture activity. This information can then be used to build and analyse a wide range of scenarios encountered in reservoir and mine planning, CO 2 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 potential and geotechnical failure.

18 Software Development Turning your ideas into a reality through feedback and bespoke projects. 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 as to 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 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 Reshape (surfaces) tool and the Construct Horizon from Template (Ribbon method) tool, in addition to linking Move to a client country-wide GST 3D database allowing spatial data querying. Our latest client funded development project involves an innovative, open 3D solution to data interoperability from Switzerland s Federal Office of Topography and its GeoMol cross-border data modelling project. This demonstrates how the current interoperability in Midland Valley s structural modelling and analysis software Move, can be extended easily to work with new 3D data stores such as GiGa Info Systems revolutionary Geosciences in Space and Time (GST) system. Over the past thirty years we have provided focussed software development solutions to a wide range of industry clients and government-funded research organisations. If you have a project that you would like to discuss then please don t hesitate to call us or edinurgh@petex.com Single Move model composed from GIS raster, outcrop vector, and a GST 3D database source.
