Petroleum System Analysis

A petroleum system is a cell that comprises a coherent package of mature source rocks and any existing and/or primary hydrocarbon accumulations generated.  The basin database describes the space/time relationship of the stratigraphic elements essential to the generation and entrapment of these accumulations (such as source rocks, carrier beds, reservoir rocks, seals, and overburden) and the attendant geological processes of trap formation, migration, accumulation and preservation.

Understanding the combinations of source rocks and the timing of maturity is crucial to tracking the flow of fluids through the basin and defining prospective exploration targets.

Gushor has experience in petroleum systems analysis in exploration, development, and production.
