Multidisciplinary analytical and numerical models require development. These models should involve considerations of equilibrium and irreversible thermodynamics and kinetics of carbonate mineral-organic matter-water interactions within a sound hydrodynamic and basin evolution framework.

The two extremes, using instantaneous and cumulative phase predictions discussed above, provide only the framework for the total variability, which can be expected in the reservoir filling history studied here. Unravelling the evolution of petroleum fluid compositions in the Snorre Field through time would require a model resolution far exceeding what can be handled in reasonable computing time. The approach shown allows, however, a prediction of fluid properties, which is much closer to the natural fluid compositions than previously possible. This compositional kinetic scheme is the first of its kind to allow reasonable petroleum phase behaviour assessment in the simulation of basin evolution and hydrocarbon migration.

The input data on basin evolution (see Table 6.1) assume that about 2.2 km of Silurian-Devonian sediments were eroded during the Permian Hercynian orogeny, nearly the upper limit of erosion amplitude. The presence of thick layers of these sediments in neighboring sedimentary sections supports this assumption. Some details of the problem of erosion amplitude assessment are discussed in the following paragraphs.
