Who should attend?

  • This course provides an in-depth and practical understanding of thermal basin modeling in a comprehensive workflow, including modeling of oil maturation and hydrocarbon migration, and leading to the assessment of hydrocarbon potential of an exploration block or a prospect.
Public :
  • Junior petroleum exploration geoscientists, multidisciplinary-team managers.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Degree in G&G.
  • No prerequisites in basin modeling.

      • Session 2:
      • AM: lectures.
      • Oil & Gas generation.
      • PVT and chemical composition.
      • Velocity of hydrocarbon migration.
      • PM: exercises with TemisFlow™ 2D module, influence of parameters.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • Understand source rock maturation and hydrocarbons generation,
  • Assess most significant basin modeling parameters for regional basin model construction (using the 1D module of TemisFlow™),
  • Understand hydrocarbon migration processes (using the 2D module of TemisFlow™) and evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of a given area.

Ways & Means

  • Afternoon sessions are devoted to case studies based on non-proprietary data provided by IFP.
  • Use of the software program TemisFlow™ (maximum 2 participants per workstation).
  • By the end of each afternoon, participants generate short reports which are assessed the following day.
  • Participants have the alternative of using their own data.
  • Upon request, the course can make use of a company’s regional dataset, provided the latter is made available in advance.
  • Software used during workshops: with courtesy of Beicip-Franlab.

Learning assessment

  • Knowledge assessment with multiple choice questions and open explanatory questions.
