Quantitative analysis of secondary hydrocarbon migration systems

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY HYDROCARBON MIGRATION SYSTEMS [Pg.227]

A quantitative analysis of present-day secondary hydrocarbon migration for basin evaluation can be restricted to the prospective parts of a sedimentaiy basin as selected on the basis of the previously described qualitative study (Chapter 7). The quantitative assessment of present-day hydrocarbon migration systems is described separately for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic conditions of the prospective parts of the basin (Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3). Section 8.4 briefly describes the available approaches for a quantitative analysis of the evolution of secondary hydrocarbon migration systems. [Pg.227]

Quantitative analysis of secondary hydrocarbon migration systems... [Pg.229]

The main types of raw data used in the analysis of secondary hydrocarbon migration systems for basin evaluation are those relating to present and past physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater (groundwater pressures, temperatures, salinities, chemical compositions) and porosities and permeabilities of the subsurface. In addition, information on the physicochemical characteristics of source rocks and of hydrocarbon acciuuulations is necessary to complete the quantitative assessment of hydrocarbon migration systems.
