A method, comprising receiving input data representing a subterranean formation, defining a grid representing the input data, with the grid including cells. The method also includes identifying at least one of the cells in which kerogen is present based on the input data, simulating hydrocarbon movement within the kerogen using the grid, and generating a model of hydrocarbon expulsion to pore space based on the simulating.

Modeling diffusion and expulsion of hydrocarbons in kerogen

A method, apparatus, and program product model address a modeling gap existing between basin and reservoir modeling through the use of a Reservoir Fluid Geodynamics (RFG) model usable for simulations conducted at a relatively fine spatial resolution and over a geological timescale.

Modeling of oil and gas fields for appraisal and early development

A method for performing a field operation of a field. The method includes obtaining, for each cell in a data volume, a permeability measure to represent fluid passing ability in a corresponding location in the field, generating neighboring cell combinations based on each neighboring cell combination including a connected portion of the cells, and the permeability measure for each cell in the connected portion satisfying a pre-determined threshold, selecting, from the neighboring cell combinations and based at least on the permeability measure, a selected neighboring cell combination having an optimal combined free advection measure, wherein the selected neighboring cell combination corresponds to an advection candidate region of the field, generating an equivalent thermal conductivity for the advection candidate region, and performing, based at least on the equivalent thermal conductivity, a basin modeling of the field to generate a modeling result.

Implementing free advection in basin modeling

Automatic calibration for modeling a field includes performing model calibration iterations based on measurements of the field. Each model iteration includes obtaining, during the field operation, a current measurement of the field, generating likelihood values corresponding to model realizations of the field, where each likelihood value is generated by at least comparing the current measurement of the field to a modeling result of a corresponding model realization, selecting, based on the likelihood values, at least one selected model realization from the model realizations, generating, by at least adjusting a first input value of the at least one selected model realization, an adjusted model realization of the field based on the at least one selected model realization, and adding the adjusted model realization to the model realizations. Automatic calibration for modeling a field further includes generating a calibrated modeling result of the field based on the adjusted model realization.
