PetroMod petroleum systems modeling software combines seismic, well, and geological information to model the evolution of a sedimentary basin. PetroMod software will predict if, and how, a reservoir has been charged with hydrocarbons, including the source and timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration routes, quantities, and hydrocarbon type in the subsurface or at surface conditions.

PetroMod software is the most advanced commercially available oil and gas migration modeling technology and the only commercial system with fully PVT-controlled modeling of n-component 3-phase relationships during the entire migration process. Multiple simulation methods, i.e., Darcy, flow path (ray tracing), invasion percolation (IP), and the PetroMod software hybrid Darcy-flow path-IP simulator, can be used with the same data models.

The 2D and 3D migration modeling technology uses flash calculations throughout the entire model and its geological history. This delivers an improved understanding and prediction of petroleum properties and oil versus gas probability assessments.

Key features in this release:

PetroMod 2023 combines a state-of-the-art user interface with high simulation performance enabling you to perform sophisticated analyses of the dynamic temperature, pressure, and migration history of complex geological systems in a fast, and intuitive process-focused workflow.

Key features and enhancements in this release:

• IP Express: this new tool has been created based on the IP Tester. In IP Express, the invasion percolation algorithm has been decoupled from the pressure/temperature (P/T) simulator to be run within 3D seismic volumes of up to 2 billion cells in size. This application was primarily created for carbon storage site assessment but can be also used for hydrocarbon migration testing. The tool has been designed to be used with minimum data requirements, i.e., one seismic cube, but additional seismic cubes can be included in the simulation if available. You need a 3D advanced migration license to run IP Express.
• Advection (beta version): to expand the simulator capabilities, of modeling CO2 storage in saline aquifers, the existing diffusion equation has been extended to include advection.

Other features and enhancements in this release:
