Orphan Basin Resource Assessment Using Forward Stratigraphic and Basin Models - Eastern Canada

Learn about resource assessment in the Orphan Basin of Newfoundland through a 34-minute technical presentation that details Beicip-Franlab's 6th assessment for Nalcor Energy's November 2020 license round. Explore the sedimentary system analysis of this active rifted margin through forward stratigraphic and petroleum system modeling. Discover the mapping of main depositional systems within the geodynamic context and understand how DioniosFlow alternative scenarios characterize past element deposition, including an innovative methodology for source rock deposition. Follow the process of using stratigraphic modeling grid data to develop a TemisFlow 3D basin model and kinematic 2D petroleum system model for testing source rock maturity. Examine migration patterns, potential accumulations, and learn how two dry wells within the area of interest served as crucial calibration points for the model. The presentation progresses through regional context, study area workflow, G&G analysis, forward stratigraphic modeling, petroleum system modeling, and concludes with future perspectives.
