Conventional petroleum systems
Predicting gas‐oil ratio and charge volumes (gas and/or oil) ahead of drilling is of paramount importance in petroleum exploration. We predict bulk petroleum composition (e.g. paraffinic or mixed base, high or low wax, high or low sulphur) and physical state (number of phases, Psat, API gravity) using the PhaseKinetics approach for direct import into Petromod®. We also provide kinetic parameters for primary and oil‐to‐gas cracking (GORfit) to distinguish liquid and gas potentials over a wide maturity range.
We release biomarkers from kerogen and oil asphaltenes to decipher oil families, maturity and organofacies in cases where OBM or severe biodegradation preclude normal biosignature recognition.
