Can anyone please name softwares used for basin scale modeling where one can build a reservoir on the basis of given area and lithology with depth?
Dear Ankita, I understand that an answer for your question is the TemisFlow from the Institute Francais du Petrole, IFP, pioneering in the development and the use of Petroleum System Analysis and Basin Modeling techniques since the late 1980’s, such as modeling of burial, thermal history, oil and gas generation and migration processes with the TemisFlow technology, widely used by oil and gas companies.
TemisFlow offers functionalities required to understand and model oil and gas generation, migration and accumulation processes. It enjoys a unique reputation for scientific rigor and sound physical basis.
You can check, if you have the data enough to use as input, for example:
- Regional evaluation and play assessment
- Prospect generation and prospect ranking
- Pre-drill risk assessment,
- Uncertainty modeling using rigorous methods
- Definition of exploration strategy
PetroMod Software’s from Schlumberger is another very good choice. For instance, you can run outputs like:
•Structural restoration
•Layers
•Facies
•Boundary conditions
In both cases, it is a critical point the data that you have: it is better if you start at basin scale, but then try to check the confidences of outputs with wells and 3D seismic in focus. You try to calibrate the models with the real data, logs, seismics, and so on.
On the other hand, if you have experience with MatLab packages, you can estimate scenarios for thermal modeling of basin e.g., thermal and subsidence history of a rift basin during its formation and evolution on a lithosphere scale, which links tectonic and thermal developments. I have experience with the MatLab scripts, but again, you need the wells control and seismic to get a good job.
