Midland Valley Move 2009.1 new Release. At Midland Valley our sole focus is on solving geological problems and developing ever-more functional software. For 25 years we have developed a uniquely powerful range of structural modelling programs that provide our own consultants and our many clients with the tools they need. The Midland Valley Move toolset is fundamentally different from other geo-modelling and model building software as it incorporates geological time into the modelling process. Other modelling tools simply create good-looking models from the present day interpretations, ours turn the modelling process into a rigorous analytical activity involving geological time, with interoperability support of modelling environments and the ability to easily transfer files between all Move components. Using our products geoscientists...

Surpac can be configured to suit your individual needs, whether you are in exploration, planning or production. The Surpac Quarry Edition has been pre-configured to provide tools required by quarry operations. More and more quarry operations are seeking to capitalise on the benefits of computer technology for quarry design, deposit modelling, site assessments and quality control. Using a modern data handling structure, Gemcom Surpac Quarry Edition centralises data from drillholes, surveys, aerial photographs and drafting packages to give a complete representation of any operation.The heart of the package is the 3-D graphical work environment for real world design and presentation. As Quarry is a modular system, a project can start with the tools required today and then add modules as...

Roxar ASA, a technology solutions provider to the upstream oil and gas industry, released Tempest 6.5, the latest version of its advanced reservoir simulation software suite. Tempest 6.5 comes with extended parallel processing capabilities and speed improvements in both serial and parallel simulation runs, allowing users to conduct faster simulation runs in greater levels of detail. Tempest 6.5’s licensing costs will allow operators to equip more engineers with full function simulation than they can with other simulators. Its greater value for money encourages more asset team members to engage in the simulation process. Tempest 6.5’s improved visualisation capabilities for the user, including the ability to calculate streamlines for each phase from the simulator results and to develop 3D cross sections,...

GeoMedia Professional (Pro) 6.1 is the first spatial data collection and management product specifically designed to work with standard relational databases. It is focused on high productivity data capture and editing, data analysis, and reporting. GeoMedia Professional was designed specifically for the collection and maintenance of GIS data, not CAD data, and uses several user-interface innovations, such as SmartSnap, Dynamic Raster Snap, and Dynamic Queued Editing, to significantly increase productivity. It also includes all the power of GeoMedia to provide a complete GIS solution from capture to output. Whether you are digitizing off a paper map, digitizing from an on screen image, or incorporating data from other digital sources, GeoMedia Pro has the tools for the job. These tools have been...

GEO5 programs for geotechnical design and analysis The GEO5 suite of programs is designed to solve various geotechnical problems. The easy-to-use suite consists of individual programs with a unified user-friendly interface. Each program is used to analyse a different geotechnical task, however all modules communicate with each other to form an intergrated package.Integrated suite of programs GEO5 is a suite of programs for geotechnical analysis. The software package includes individual programs that are closely linked to each other and run in the same environment. Each program solves a specific geotechnical problem. Besides common geotechnical engineering tasks, the suite also includes highly sophisticated applications for the analysis of tunnels, building damage due to tunnelling, stability of rock slopes etc. GEO5 consists...
