Native H2ORG

Basin models can now predict the generation of native H2 from overmature organic matter (H2ORG) in time and space thanks to our new kinetic model.

Deliverables

We supply:

2-D and 3-D models of organic native H2 generation and migration.

Data

Update and upgrade your existing Schlumberger petroleum system models.
Start from scratch to model the generation of hydrocarbon gas, oil, oil-to-gas cracking and native H2ORG.

Components

Revisit your old stomping grounds!

  • H2 is prolifically generated from overmature organic matter in shales and coals.
  • Its yield per unit rock volume closely resembles that of economic shale gas.
  • Generation appears to OM-type independent.
