Abstract:
A parallel-processing hydrocarbon (HC) migration and accumulation methodology is applied to basin data to determine migration pathways and traps for high-resolution petroleum system modeling. HC is determined in parallel to have been expelled in source rocks associated with a plurality of grid cells divided into one or more subdomains. Potential trap peaks are identified within the plurality of grid cells. An invasion percolation (IP) process is performed until the HC stops migrating upon arrival to the plurality of trap peaks. A determination is made as to whether the grid cells containing HC contains an excess volume of HC. An accumulation process is performed to model the filling of the HC at a trap associated with the identified potential trap peaks. The trap boundary cell list is updated in parallel together with an HC potential value. Trap filling terminates when excess HC is depleted or a spill point is reached.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer-implemented, parallel-processing system for simulating hydrocarbon (HC) migration in a subsurface medium, the parallel processing system comprising:\n a computer memory; and a hardware processor interoperably coupled with the computer memory and configured to perform operations comprising:\n determining that HC has been expelled in source rocks associated with a plurality of grid cells divided into one or more subdomains; \n identifying potential trap peaks within the plurality of grid cells; \n performing an invasion process until the HC stops migrating within the plurality of grid cells; \n determining whether grid cells containing HCs contain an excess volume of HCs; \n performing an accumulation process to model filling of grid cells with the HC at a trap associated with the identified potential trap peaks; and \n updating the trap with an HC potential value.
