Hydrocarbon Retention and Migration: Pitfalls and Opportunities

June 17, 2021 | 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. CST (UTC-05:00)

Hydrocarbon retention and migration in petroleum systems provide many opportunities for improvements in our workflows, understanding, and technologies. However, sometimes common misunderstandings occur surrounding questions such as:

• Do hydrocarbon migrate vertically through faults?
•  Do thicker shales make better seals?
• Is hydrocarbon column height controlled by the fracture pressure of the seal?
• What is the expected fluid phase of a given prospect?

This webinar will discuss some common pitfalls in analyzing and modelling hydrocarbon retention and migration, while providing best practices based on real case studies.
