The course "Softwares Applied Petroleum Systems Modeling Workflows" introduces students to the use of specialized software tools like PetroMod and TRACE for petroleum systems modeling. It focuses on simulating geological and geochemical processes involved in hydrocarbon generation, migration, and accumulation.
Key Elements of the Course:
Objective: The course aims to equip students with practical and theoretical skills in building and analyzing 1D and 2D basin models for petroleum exploration, integrating seismic, well, and geological data.
Methodology: It combines lectures with hands-on sessions. Weekly lessons alternate between theoretical instruction (50 minutes) and practical application (50 minutes) in a computer lab using industry-standard software.
Course Content:
Block I: Software introduction and model building basics (1D and 2D models).
Block II: Advanced functionalities and simulations (temperature, pressure, calibration, migration).
Block III: Lithology management and geochemical data integration.
Block IV: Focus on unconventional resources and advanced modeling techniques.
Block V: Data management and final project presentations.
Assignments: Students complete practical weekly exercises and submit mid-term and final projects, building and analyzing basin models.
Evaluation: Evaluation is based on practical assignments, mid-term projects (1D model), and a final comprehensive 2D model.
The course is essential for preparing students for real-world petroleum exploration projects by fostering critical analysis of model results and decision-making in exploration.
