3 Software Introduction Structural modelling and analysis software suite for reducing risk and uncertainty in geological models Move, structural modelling and analysis suite of software, is the most complete structural modelling and analysis toolkit available providing a full digital environment for best practice structural modelling to reduce risk and uncertainty in the geological models across oil & gas E&P, mineral resource development, and CO 2 rad-waste storage and geo-technical projects. Move provides workflows for digital field mapping, cross-section construction, 3D model building, kinematic restoration and validation, geomechanical modelling, fracture modelling and sediment modelling. The software has been designed by geologists for geologists, meaning it stays true to geological principles to create valid geological models. With the ability to test scenarios and to model geological evolution, Move reduces uncertainty by going beyond static models - which may be little more than an artist s impression or a computer animation. By addressing time development of structure and checking geometric and evolutionary feasibility you are three times more likely to produce the correct result*. The Move application is the core product of the suite, providing a stand-alone 2D and 3D modelling environment for dataintegration, cross-section construction, 3D model building and data analysis. Modules are added to Move to provide workflows for specialist structural modelling. *Bond et al 2012, What makes an expert effective at interpreting seismic images?, Geology, January 2012, v40, no1, p75-78.

6 Sectors We Work In 2D and 3D geological model building Oil and Gas E&P Minerals Academia Geological Surveys CO 2 sequestration Rad-Waste Management Midland Valley has been providing structural geology software and consultancy solutions to the upstream oil and gas industry for 30 years. By applying our structural approach, geological models are restored and balanced - validating interpretations - which minimises risk on reserve calculations. We are fully committed to supporting the next generation of geoscientists and are involved in a wide range of activities with the academic community. Our software tools and workflows are used across a wide range of activities by Government and Public Bodies. We offer dedicated pricing deals to this sector. Structural modelling can provide valid scenarios and therefore significantly reduce uncertainty in site characterisation for CCS projects. Improved and validated sub-surface models, where an understanding of the structure and its uncertainty is important in technical design and compliance. Move can be applied to any geological province or tectonic setting, including extension, contraction, strike-slip, inversion, salt and shale tectonics. The restored geological model is forward modelled to capture attributes including strain and curvature. These attributes can be used as inputs for fracture modelling. Our Academic Software Initiative provides Move free for teaching - giving students experience with cutting-edge software used in global commercial companies. Dramatically reduce the cycle time from fieldmapping to final map production and delivery of a digital model, combining heritage data with surface and subsurface data. Our software and services can be utilised throughout an entire project or applied in specific aspects including site characterisation, risk assessments and storage capacity calculations. A dynamic rather than static understanding of the geological model is useful in predicting fractures and their connectivity, which affect fluid migration and repository engineering.

9 Geomechanical Modelling Workflow managed 3D structural modelling for model validation and multiple scenario testing Geomechanical Modelling is a module of Move that utilises elastic mechanical properties and physical laws of motion (mass spring technology) to realistically model 3D rock deformation. Multiple scenarios with different mechanical properties, rock anisotropies, pin and fault displacement constraints can be tested and saved within the workflow for rapid sensitivity testing of different parameters. Multi-threaded computation improves productivity by allowing rapid, simultaneous runs of multiple, pre-defined scenarios at the click of a button. Intelligent defaults permit effective first-pass modelling by generalist or specialist user. Pick-up & Use workflow designed with clear self-explanatory steps. Models rock deformation using mechanical properties. Explicit control of shear components and elastic anisotropy. User defined restoration of fault displacement. Advanced analysis tools to compare results of each workflow. Multiple output options including geocellular volumes for fracture modelling, seamless integration with the Fracture Modelling module. Parallel computations for rapid scenario run times. Fault displacements restored showing colour map of maximum principal strain intensity User Defined faults to be restored in a workflow scenario Scenario above exported as a geocellular volume with fracture modelling attributes

10 Fracture Modelling Workflow managed discrete fracture network (DFN) generation, analysis and direct output of properties through a geocellular model 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. It provides 3D discrete fracture network (DFN) modelling with output of properties through a geocellular model for use in reservoir simulation (petroleum), or geotechnical (mining) studies. The intuitive workflow-driven approach allows rapid scenario testing and the development of multiple models for sensitivity testing. Assists geologists working in fractured rocks requiring to make cost effective drilling decisions for exploration, production and geo-technical applications. Use stress and strain values derived from the Kinematic or Geomechanical Modelling Modules and static attributes such as curvature as proxies for intensity and orientation. Multiple direct observation inputs - use of well/drill hole data and field/open pit and underground measurements to constrain the DFN. Confidently predict in areas without direct observations using geological proxies including static attributes and volumetric strain. Fracture network characterisation using connectivity analysis, including identification of optimum drainage points, flow pathways, reservoir compartmentalisation and volume. Quantitative analysis with volumetric and directional outputs for reservoir simulation, including permeability tensor components and porosity.

11 Stress Analysis A graphical tool for analysing and understanding the behaviour of fault and fracture systems A new addition to the Move 2014 suite, the Stress Analysis module enables the user to rapidly visualise and evaluate 3D stress states and potential fault activity. Test a series of principal stresses and pressure profiles through depth, taking into consideration hydrostatic, pore and lithostatic pressures. Use this data to build and analyse model scenarios encountered in reservoir and mine planning, CO 2 storage, waste disposal and other engineering applications, and reduce uncertainty surrounding likely failure envelopes. Compute stress attributes for Slip Tendency, Dilation Tendency, Slip and Dilation Tendency, Fracture Stability and Slip Stability of planes. The colour map shows a colour scale of the current displayed stress attribute that is plotted on the Stereonet and Mohr diagram at a specific depth. Visualize and evaluate critically stressed planes in a 3D View. Any orientation data selected on the Stereonet or Mohr diagram is simulatneously selected in the 3D model. 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 more favourably orientated faults to failure as set in a user defined stress state. Colour-mapped Stereonet and Mohr plots 3D Fracture set coloured according to stress attributes

12 Sediment Modelling Turbidite modelling on restored palaeosurfaces - reservoir prediction and providing direct outputs for Basin & Reservoir Modelling The Sediment Modelling module for Move provides an automated 3D turbidity current modelling workflow for simulating turbidite flows onto a palaeobathymetry and outputting turbidite distribution and reservoir quality attributes. The approach is to forward model turbidite flows on a palaeosurface and to validate the results with available well data and attribute maps as appropriate. Following calibration with available data, the modelling of the sand body distributions applies to areas with no well control. It provides direct output for decision making and basin and reservoir modelling. Developed in collaboration with Professor D. Waltham, Royal Holloway University of London Predictive turbidite modelling on paleosurfaces with reservoir quality map & 3D surface outputs Best fit to well data Stacked flows Short run times enabling testing of multiple scenarios Assess interaction between tectonics and sedimentation Helps reduce the uncertainty in reservoir distribution and quality Intuitive easy-to-use workflow to provide quick results Quantitative Analysis Deterministic, stochastic simulations to fit known data
