Webinar: Capillary Seals and Petroleum Migration: Theory, Observation, Modeling, and Risking

Summary

In the past 30 years, much effort has been put into the understanding of HC generation processes, such as heat flow modeling and kerogen kinetics and the composition of HC generated. There has been much less work on the key factors controlling petroleum migration, and what happens to fluids during migration, and methods for quantifying petroleum charge risk.  

Recently we have been studying spatial distribution of petroleum accumulations in structural and stratigraphic context using Trinity 3D and HotSpot, with global datasets that include millions of wells, and thousands of fields from various databases. We observe strong correlation of migration patterns and structural and stratigraphic controlled capillary properties. The data clearly demonstrates the tendency for long distance lateral migration in some systems, and for vertical migration that form stacked reservoirs in others. The patterns also explain how capillary properties exert important controls on gas vs oil distribution, such as proposed by Sales 1997.
