Cross-section restoration in days, not weeks

Deform is a lightweight, cross-platform tool that helps geoscientists construct, balance and restore 2D cross-sections.

Interpretation validation

Find errors before they reach the drill site

Restore your cross-section to its undeformed state. Gaps and overlaps in the restored section reveal geometric inconsistencies such as mismatched ramps, incorrect bed thicknesses and displacement errors that directly affect trap predictions.

Line-length balancing Quality control

Tectonic evolution

See which faults were active and when

Sequentially restore older horizons to reconstruct basin history step by step. At each stage, measure fault displacement and horizontal extension to understand how deformation evolved through time.

Simple shear unfolding HW deformation

Structural prediction

Predict rollover geometry from fault shape

Model hanging wall deformation above listric and planar faults. Test different fault geometries with forward modelling, or restore observed structures back to pre-faulting state with inverse modelling.

Hanging wall deformation

Our philosophy

Geology first: a simple interface and minimal steps so you can focus on interpreting your data, not learning software.
