Abstract

Using a one-dimensional model, we numerically simulate with time the geological processes of sedimentary deposition, compaction, fluid flow, heat flow and hydrocarbon generation. Input well data, in the form of present-day formation thicknesses porosity with depth, thermal gradient, vitrinite reflectance with depth, and fluid overpressure with depth constrain the dynamical model. We present model results for the Navarin Basin COST No. 1 well, including reconstructions of burial history, fluid flow history, thermal history and hydrocarbon generation history.
