3D Basin Simulation Controlled by Capillary Threshold Pressure – A Case Study in the North Malay Basin (2)–

The relationship between capillary threshold pressure of seal formations and buoyancy of hydrocarbons is considered as one of the most important aspects for petroleum exploration (Sales, 1997; Nakayama and Sato, 2002). As high quality 3D seismic data is acquired in common, high resolution 3D basin simulation of capillary-dominated, multi-phase flow regimes is the effective technique to realize the generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in basin scale. This paper presents the case study of<br>3D basin simulation in the North Malay Basin which was carried out by JGI and CPOC in 2007.
