Abstract

A method and system for determination of hydrocarbon accumulations in a subsurface geological area are disclosed. The method comprises creating a structural framework of the subsurface geological area, calculation of a mechanical stress, identifying trapping mechanisms, predicting of a relative fold movement, and estimating of the formation of the hydrocarbon accumulations, and determining the location of the hydrocarbon accumulations in the subsurface geological area. The system used for the determination of the hydrocarbon accumulations comprises an input device for inputting a plurality of data, a properties module for creating a structural framework using the inputted plurality of the data, a processor for the calculation of compressional and tensional forces, fault patterns, and a relative fold movement, an estimation module for estimating the formation of hydrocarbon accumulations, a locator module for determining the presence of hydrocarbon accumulations, and a memory comprising at least one of the structural framework and a data.
