Geomechanics can assist in analyzing 4D Basin evolution.
Analyses of fluid migration, heat flow, petroleum generation, pressure and trap location in sedimentary basins are the basics of Basin modeling. However, these analyses cannot be performed efficiently without an accurate representation of the basin’s structural evolution though time.
Let our experts in this field merge your data with geomechanically-based simulations to help understand:
How the geometry of large scale Basin might evolve through time
How to evaluate fluid-migration pathways through time at the Basin scale
How stress, during Basin development, might affect fluid flow
IGEOSS uses geomechanically-based modeling techniques to constrain third party Basin modeling tools.
This example illustrates how mechanically-based 3D restoration with Dynel3D is used to model complex Basin evolution. The structure geometry development through time can be used for Basin modeling with third party software. (Data courtesy of ExxonMobile)
