Modeling Gas Migration, Distribution, And Saturation In A Structurally And Petrologically Evolving Tight Gas Reservoir

Early prediction of the distribution and saturation state of natural gas in tight gas reservoirs results in improved development and production strategy, improved recoverable volumes estimates, and decreased costs associated with development and production. Three-dimensional basin modeling coupled with three-dimensional invasion percolation-based migration modeling of the NW German Basin shows promise for prediction of gas distributions and saturations in a tight gas reservoir with a complex history.
