“…Migration through permeable rocks in the model can be fast and follows the architecture and topography of sandstone carrier beds (Hantschel et al, 2000;Hantschel and Kauerauf, 2009). Overall migration speed is likely reduced by primary migration out of the source rocks and migration through silt-dominated sediments in western Pegasus Basin.…”

“…Fluid flow was calculated using the hybrid migration routine of PetroMod, in which flow is calculated assuming Darcy flow in low permeability sequences and using flowpath analysis in high permeable carriers (Hantschel et al, 2000;Hantschel and Kauerauf, 2009;pages 286-287). The uplift and erosion of the Hammerfest Basin is mainly related to two regional events: (1) the structural development linked to the rifting, break-up, and subsequent opening of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea during the OligoceneMiocene, and (2) the glacial activity during the Late Cenozoic (Berglund et al, 1986;Vorren et al, 1991;Nyland et al, 1992;Riis and Fjeldskaar, 1992;Knutsen et al, 1993;Richardsen et al, 1993;Riis, 1996;Dimakis et al, 1998;Cavanagh et al, 2006).…”

“…The distributary channel sand and mouth-bar sand of the delta facies in the lower member are more likely to be sealed by large-scale nonreservoir depositional elements such as mud plug deposits. In addition, simulation experiments (Dembicki and Anderson 1989;Catalan et al 1992;Thomas and Clouse 1995), migration modeling (Sylta 1991;Hindle 1997;Hantschel et al 2000), and field observations in geological basins (Miles 1990;Terken and Frewin 2000;Terken et al 2001) have all suggested that hydrocarbons move through only a small portion of the carrier rock during lateral migration (Hindle 1997). The hydrocarbons migrate through probably less than 10% of the cross-sectional area that contains high porosity and permeability (England et al 1987).…”

Secondary migration of hydrocarbons in the Zhujiang Formation in the Huixi half-graben, Pearl River Mouth Basin, South China Sea

The process and mechanisms of secondary hydrocarbon migration in the Huixi half-graben, Pearl River Mouth Basin, were investigated on the basis of geological analysis of the strata and study of the porosity and permeability of the reservoir rocks, fluid potential, oil properties, and geochemistry of oil-source correlation. The results suggest that the hydrocarbons of the Zhujiang Formation in the Huixi half-graben were derived from source rocks of the Eocene Wenchang Formation and the Eocene-Oligocene Enping Formation in the Huizhou Sag. The hydrocarbons migrated laterally from northeast to southwest. The sandstone in the upper member of the Zhujiang Formation exhibited superior physical properties (porosity and permeability) and connectivity than the lower member. Thin sandstone beds with good physical properties and stable distribution in the upper member of the Zhujiang Formation were the main carrier beds for lateral hydrocarbon migration. Résumé :Les processus et les mécanismes de migration secondaire des hydrocarbures dans le demi-graben d'Huixi, dans l'embouchure du bassin de la rivière Pearl, ont été étudiés en se basant sur l'analyse géologique des strates et la détermination de la porosité et de la perméabilité des roches réservoir, le potentiel de fluides, les propriétés du pétrole et la géochimie de la corrélation pétrole-source. Selon les résultats, les hydrocarbures de la Formation de Zhujiang dans le demi-graben d'Huixi proviendraient des roches-mères de la Formation de Wenchang (Éocène) et de la Formation d'Enping (Éocène-Oligocène) dans l'affaissement d'Huizhou. Les hydrocarbures ont migré latéralement du nord-est au sud-ouest. Le grès dans le membre supérieur de la Formation de Zhujiang présentait de meilleures propriétés physiques (porosité et perméabilité) et une meilleure conductivité que le membre inférieur. De minces lits de grès avec de bonnes propriétés physiques et une distribution stable dans le membre supérieur de la Formation de Zhujiang constituaient les principaux lits réservoirs pour la migration latérale des hydrocarbures.
