ICE SC 4 | Basin and Petroleum System Modeling in Conventional and Unconventional Exploration

American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)

Saturday, 14 October – Sunday, 15 October 2017, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | London, England

Who Should Attend

Earth scientists who would like an overview of Petroleum Systems Modeling for Conventional and Unconventional Exploration.

Objectives

The course will cover the following topics:

Introduction to 1D, 2D and 3D basin and petroleum system modeling (PSM)
Model construction and choices
Evaluating the rocks
Model calibration and validation
Special considerations for modeling unconventionals
Viewing PSM results in the context of exploration risk
Case studies

Course Content

This course provides an introduction to Petroleum Systems Modeling (PSM) in Exploration, with both conventional and unconventional examples. It will review the definition and characteristics of Petroleum Systems, and cover some of the differing design elements needed for models in conventional and unconventional exploration. The course will provide a basic overview of the types of geochemistry data typically used to evaluate source rock quality and maturity. Methods for data preparation, model calibration and validation are briefly covered. We will touch on the special considerations needed for modeling unconventional plays. We will conclude with discussion of how PSM results are incorporated into exploration risk and show some case history examples.
