This book discusses the progress that is being made through
innovations in instrumental measurements of geologic and
geochemical systems and their study using modern mathematical
modeling. It covers the systems approach to understanding
sedimentary rocks and their role in evolution and containment of
subsurface fluids.
Fundamental aspects of petroleum geology and geochemistry,
generation, migration, accumulation, evaluation and production of
hydrocarbons are discussed with worldwide examples. Various
physical and chemical properties of subsurface waters, crude oils
and natural gases are described which is especially important to
production engineering. Among various properties of liquid and
gaseous hydrocarbons the most important are wettability affecting
production characteristics and ultimate recovery: relative
permeability affecting reservoir fluid flow to the production
wells; density differences between immiscible fluids which affects
gravity drainage; viscosity of subsurface fluids affecting the
relative mobility of each fluid; and fluid chemistry, which affects
the absorption, ultimate recovery and monetary value of produced
hydrocarbons.
Discussion of the formation and accumulation of hydrocarbons
includes (1) the changes in the chemical composition of
hydrocarbons that originate from the debris of living plants and
organisms to form crude oil and natural gas; (2) the origin of
hydrocarbons in different areas of a single reservoir; (3) the
conditions, which determine the distribution of water, oil and gas
in the reservoir; (4) the migration of subsurface fluids until they
eventually accumulate in isolated traps; (5) discussion of the
traps as a function of sedimentary geology and tectonics. This is
based on the systems approach to the specific geologic and
geochemical systems using analytical and statistical principles and
examples of modern mathematical modeling of static and dynamic
systems.
