BasinMod 1-D New Features

  • Biodegradation Threshold may be specified and displayed on Burial History and Petroleum Systems Plots.
  • "Effective Source Fraction" can be applied to the source formation to designate that portion of the formation which actually contains organic matter.
  • New values have been added to graphs and reports, including Gas Generated Volume for Rock Unit, Oil Retained Volume for Rock Unit, Maximum Temperature, and Maximum Excess Pressure<./li>
  • Maturity Windows can be plotted on the stratigraphy column of a Geochemical Log Plot.
  • “Reservoir + Seal” and “Source + Reservoir + Seal” have been added as additional Petroleum Systems Event types.
  • The default compaction method has been changed from “Mechanical” to “Fluid flow” and the default porosity reduction method has been changed from “Exponential” to “BasinMod 2-D fluid flow”.

BasinView New Features

  • All surfaces can be exported as ASCII xyz maps.
  • A new Paleo Topography surface has been added.
  • Heat flow is calculated for each surface.
  • New values to calculate include pyrolysis parameters of Production Index, Hydrogen Index, S1, S2, Temperature Max and Excess Pressure Max, "Gas Generated Volume for Rock Unit" and "Average Porosity for Rock Unit".
  • "Effective Source Fraction" has been added to the Project Stratigraphy table.
  • All data necessary for use in PetroAnalyst™ is now easily exported.
  • The "BasinMod 3-D Viewer" has been added which can be used to view the model in 3-D.
  • An improved error message is triggered when two wells with the same location are included in the project.
  • The default compaction method has been changed from “Mechanical” to “Fluid flow” and the default porosity reduction method has been changed from “Exponential” to “BasinMod 2-D fluid flow”.

BasinMod Risk New Features

  • New charge output parameters include Retained Gas Volume and Retained Oil Volume STP, Hydrogen Index and Kinetic TMAX, Oil Expelled Volume for Rock Unit and Gas Expelled Volume for Rock Unit.
  • Gaseous HC Volume/Rock Area and Liquid HC Volume/Rock Area have been added as new units.
  • The Effective Source Fraction specified in BasinMod 1-D will automatically be used as an input parameter.
