2nd meeting in the series of workshops dedicated to basin modeling
IFPEN - Rueil-Malmaison (near Paris), 8-9 June 2021
This series of workshops is aimed at bringing together leading experts representing the energy industry and research stakeholders in academia to engage in open discussions and exchange their experiences related to future applications of basin modeling for subsurface exploration.
This second edition will focus on recent R&D advances in the field of integrated basin analysis in the context of the energy transition and include identification of the modeling tools required to address specific aspects of this transition. Special attention will be paid to the implementation of efficient workflows and the associated benefits to tackle specific issues.
Content definition of Topics
Complex fluids modelling
Understanding primary and secondary controls on hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fluids (CO2, H2S, N2,…)
Gas modelling (generation and accumulation)
Achieving efficient and responsible exploration of gas, by improved numerical modelling of the hydrocarbon generation and accumulation
Stress and pore pressure prediction
Understanding and modelling of the complex interactions between structural history, mechanical
Stratigraphic forward modelling
New approaches and numerical tools, for better understanding of sedimentary basin filling architecture, plays, and source rocks
Uncertainty quantification and management integrating machine learning
