Abstract

Petroleum geochemistry has played a crucial role in assessing petroleum systems and constraining basin modelling applications. Recent advances in this area have resulted from extensive industry-academia collaborations relating to dating the residence age of petroleum fluids in reservoirs and looking more holistically at what the concept of "maturity", means for a petroleum sample. We describe recent advances in the dating of petroleum reservoir fluids using a calibrated application of petroleum geochemical proxies related to time-dependent natural nuclear radiation of fluids within a reservoir. We discuss the systematics of the approach and the challenges. We also discuss research aimed at translating the concept of maturity from a scalar, single measurement of a fluid, to a more realistic vector maturity approach able to assess a true quantitative charge history for a reservoir.

Finally, we look at possible routes and challenges to production of emissions free energy from fossil fuels in the ongoing energy transition, examining the feasibility of large-scale recovery of energy from petroleum reservoirs. We examine the feasibility of energy recovery in such a manner as hydrogen, ammonia or electricity, while retaining all the carbon within the reservoir.
