| Popis: | Construction of a realistic and efficient basin analysis model is one of the primary objectives of Japan National Oil Corporation's research project “Correlation Technology of Crude Oil and Source Rocks.” It started in 1988 and is planned to be completed in 1992; the completed model will be equipped with an I/O system that will utilize digitizers and engineering workstations to facilitate its use.As the phenomena of oil generation and migration, particularly that of the primary migration, are not well known today, the aforementioned JNOC research project includes the relevant laboratory experiments. To quickly respond to and cope with the knowledge resulting from these experiments, it was decided to develop a generation-migration model of relatively small size separately from a sedimentation model. Therefore, the aim of this compact model was to seek, without spending excessive computer time, the mathematical description which satisfactorily reproduce laboratory observations, and at the same time to find the most suitable numerical technique to approximate the mathematical problem.After two years of research and programming, the first version model was completed and tested. This report briefly describes this oil generation-migration model and then shows the calculation results of a few example runs that simulate some features of laboratory experiments. |
