Application to 1-D Basin Modeling

2. Purpose Basin and Petroleum System Modeling
Simulation of basin evolution: tracking hydrocarbon generation and expulsion
Estimate volume hydrocarbon entrapment, flow and accumulation
Spatial scale: 10s to 100s of Kms.
Time scale: 100s to Mas
Dynamic reservoir geometry
1D model: examines burial history at a point location.
2-D model: either in map or cross section, can be used to reconstruct oil and gas generation, migration and accumulation along a cross section.
3-D model: reconstructs petroleum systems at reservoir and basin scales and has the ability to display the output in 1D, 2D or 3D, and through time

Main Input
Sediment deposition (Stratigraphy)
Erosion
Lithology
Petroleum System Elements (PSE)
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Kinetics
Hydrogen Index
Boundary Conditions
Paleo-Water Depth (PWD)
Sediment Water Interface Temperature (SWI-Temperature)

12. Main Input
TOC: Quantity of organic carbon in source rock, both kerogen and bitumen.
HI: (S2/TOC) x 100
An estimate of hydrogen richness in source rock. It help estimating maturity if kerogen content is known. HI-OI plot can give a rough assessment of petroleum generative potential of a source rock

19. Boundary Conditions
Paleo-Water Depth (PWD) is an important parameter which controls the rate of sedimentation, erosion, and the volume of water controls pressure load on top of a system.
Temperature controls transformation of kerogen into petroleum
Paleo-Heat flow
