Petroleum systems modeling is a basin analysis procedure that involves the hydrocarbon migration processes and its evolution through time, making them an integral and fundamental part of basin simulation.
This modeling focus on the recognition and understanding of the drainage areas, and in the detailed reconstruction of the migration pathways and the infilling histories of the traps.
The former can be done with the integration of detailed geophysical, geological, geochemical and reservoir information, present at the study area. To achieve this, methods of multidimensional analysis (1D, 2D and 3D) are used, allowing time and space integration of the data, and in this way a coherent geologic model can be developed for the basin.
This multidimensional analysis, specially 3D, facilitates the volume factor assessment of the generation, migration and accumulation processes, minimizing the risk of hydrocarbon exploration and production.
Petroleum systems modeling implies a change from the classic static concept of trap geometry definition in the exploratory process, to a concept of understanding and quantifying the dynamic processes involved in the trap formation and its accumulations.
Considering the former, RA GEOLOGIA in association with IES Integrated Exploration Systems and Permedia Research Group offers to the petroleum industry, consulting services and software solutions for this kind of modeling.
RA GEOLOGIA uses and offers the most advanced software solutions available in the market for petroleum systems modeling in one, two and three dimensions.
The software solutions are PetroMod and Mpath.
PetroMod is the name of IES entire software system which consists of a fully integrated suite of 1D, 2D and 3D petroleum systems modeling packages.
MPath is Permedia's petroleum migration and reservoir filling simulator. MPath predicts petroleum migration trajectories and highly detailed petroleum emplacement patterns by rapidly simulating multi-phase flow behavior in porous and fractured media. Using MPath, you can model 3D, multi-scale, multi-million gridcell petroleum transport in a matter of minutes.
