Dr. William Chandonia, recent Ph.D. and member of “The Structure and Geomechanics Task Force” was one of our resident expert for The Move_® suite. The Move_® suite is one of the most powerful and complete software packages for analysis and modeling of complex geologic structures. The ten different software toolkits that comprise the Move_® suite allow for 2D and 3D kinematic modeling of geologic structures, including Geomechanical Modelling, Fracture Modelling, Stress Analysis, Fault Analysis, and Fault Response Modelling. In addition, communication packages that allow Move_® to work with Petrel, Open works, and Link GST are also being provided and may be used in course work in Petroleum Geology.
