The main goal of petroleum system analysis in modelling software is time and depth reconstruction of generation, expulsion, migration and accumulation processes in sedimentary basin. The primary tools in this analysis are 1-D, 2-D and 3-D petroleum software.
1D Modelling
One-dimensional modelling, in well profile scale, allows to reconstruct
the postdepositional history of a basin, with particular emphasis on geological evolution and thermal history.
Geological events (deposition, hiatus, erosion) and heat flow
reconstruction in a sedimentary basin analysis allows to determine
initial time of gas and oil generation process, as well as further it
development in geological time scale. A multi variant choice of kinetic
parameters that create an individual regimes for hydrocarbon generation
and expulsion processes is available in 1-D modelling software. This
multi variant choice allows to assess the model responsiveness to each
geological and thermal values. Main geological and thermal values are:
thickness of erosion, thermal gradient or heat flow, lithology of well
profile. The tests and calibration of the basic geological, thermal with
measured geochemical parameters that can be extrapolated within
sedimentary basin in 2-D and 3-D models.
2D Modelling
Two-dimensional modelling allows to create a spatial numerical
reconstruction of petroleum processes from the beginning of the
hydrocarbon generation till its final accumulation in the trap.
Cross-section with define regional geological, thermal and geochemical
as well as reservoir parameters used in interactive modelling procedure
define not only time of each process but also the regional range in the
sedimentary basin. It totally fulfill the goal of detailed petroleum
system definition.
Regional time and spatial analysis gives possibility to determine and
observe alternate steps of oil and gas filed creation, starting from
growing source rocks maturity until final hydrocarbon accumulation in
the trap.
In 2-D modelling can be used geological cross-section from
seismic-sections as well as interpretation of geological maps. Lithology
within each stratigraphic section is define as a mixed basic lithology
types in percentage. Other parameters like temperature, heat flow,
source rocks characteristics can be define in spots, beds or layers
along cross-section and then extrapolated in mathematical calculation in
cells. Resolution of model depends of its size, geological and tectonic
complicacy.
In the result of 2-D modelling, petroleum elements and processes can be
presented in time and depth scale not only along cross-section, but also
in each basin spot.
3D Modelling
Three-dimensional modelling is based on maps with editing horizons and maps options.
The 3D petroleum system model includes all the key elements of
geological risk in exploration (trap, reservoir, charge, seal, and
timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration, and loss) and enables
rigorous risk analyses.
