Basin Modeling
Address Basin Hydrocarbon
Charge Risk
There are three risks that must be addressed prior to drilling a well: trap and seal, reservoir, and hydrocarbon charge. These three components must be in-place for an exploration, or production well to be successful. Assessing the trap and reservoir risks are routine tasks of earth scientists in all hydrocarbon exploration companies.

What Is Basin Modeling?
Traditionally, basin modelling has been used by the oil and gas industry to study the physical and thermal histories of basins. The models lead to an estimation of the timing of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion.
In recent years, however, basin modelling has expanded to include evaluation of secondary migration and trapping of hydrocarbons within basins.
