The simulator is the heart of the PetroMod software suite, simulating the entire history of a sedimentary basin from the deposition of the bottom layer onwards. PetroMod software uses consistent simulators in 1D, 2D, and 3D, which means that all technical features and tools are available—and identical—in all dimensions. It also enables different simulation methods—Darcy, flow path (ray tracing), invasion percolation (IP), and the PetroMod hybrid Darcy/flow path/IP simulator—to be used with the same data models.
Petroleum generation
PetroMod software includes a database of reaction kinetics to predict the phases and properties of hydrocarbons generated from source rocks of various types. Adsorption models describe the release of generated hydrocarbons into the free pore space of the source rock. Users can include their own data or select one out of more than 100 default kinetic reactions based on real source rock data from all over the world.
Petroleum migration
PetroMod migration modeling technology is the most advanced tool available and the only commercial system with fully PVT-controlled modeling of n-component/3-phase relationships during the entire migration process. The 2D and 3D migration modeling technology uses flash calculations throughout the entire model and its geologic history, improving understanding and prediction of petroleum properties and oil versus gas probability assessments. Source rock tracking is possible in both 2D and 3D migration modeling, improving understanding of complex petroleum systems by tracking oil and gas from the source to the trap, and evaluating the relative risks of charging from different source units or areas. Migration simulation methods include Darcy flow, flow path analysis, hybrid petroleum migration modeling technology, and invasion percolation.
