Method Applied to Evaluate Petroleum Systems from a 2D Kinematic Model in the Subandean Complex and Thrust Belt Zone

Abstract

The main goal is to present the metodology that was applied to evaluate the petroleum system in a geologically complex zones, in this case the Subandean thrust belt in Bolivia from a 2D Kinematic model to know and understand oil and gas generation, migration and accumulation. Along a cross section this model allow to us simulate the dynamism of sedimentary basin to determine if past conditions were suitable for hydrocarbons to fill potencial reservoirs and that stay preserved there. At the same time, the results let us understand the convergence of the components and the necessary processes to generate and store hydrocarbons including migration pathways.
