Abstract
migration
from a source rock
has been simulated using a computer. The simulation model is
based on a finite difference solution of one-dimensional
fluid-flow differential equations. Oil generation is simulated by
the time-temperature index. Shale porosity is reduced by
compaction. Oil saturation rises as organic matter is converted
to oil, and the source-rock porosity decreases during burial.
When oil saturation reaches an irreducible level, surplus oil is
expelled by capillary and excess pore fluid pressure.
