METHOD FOR MINING HYDROCARBONS FROM A SEDIMENTARY BASIN, USING A BASIN SIMULATION, TAKING GEOMECHANICAL EFFECTS INTO ACCOUNT

摘要

- Method of exploiting a sedimentary basin containing hydrocarbons and at least two layers, by means of a basin simulation.- From a reconstruction of the formation of the first layer of the basin, for at least one of the layers overlying the first layer, a simulation of the joint basin of the layer under consideration and at least one layer is carried out underlying. Then a joint geomechanical simulation of the layer under consideration and at least one underlying layer is carried out. If the difference between a part of the parameters resulting from the geomechanical simulation and those resulting from the basin simulation is greater than a predefined threshold, the preceding steps are repeated by applying a correction to the basin simulation. Then, the basin is exploited according to the results of the basin simulation.- Application in particular to the exploration and exploitation of oil deposits.- Figure 5 to publish.
