Method for Exploiting a Hydrocarbon Deposit Using Basin Simulation and Compositional Kinetic Modelling

摘要

The present invention is a method for determining at least one of the quantity and the quality of the hydrocarbons present in a sedimentary basin, by use of a numerical basin simulator containing a kinetic model. The kinetic model is applied with kinetic parameters in order to reproduce the transformation of the organic matter into at least one chemical compound under the effect of an increase in temperature. The present invention converts kinetic parameters relating to a first compositional representation into kinetic parameters relating to a second compositional representation, by use of a compositional reference established from reference source rocks and from the level of transformation of a reference rock.
