Numerical modeling of thermal mechanical processes in the mid-oceanic ridge rift zones

Petroleum System Modeling of a Fold and Thrust Belt: A Case Study from the Bannu Basin, Pakistan

“…However, the SWIT was calculated via software and was based on the evolution of sea level temperature, considering the global mean surface temperature variations and latitudinal variation through geological time [60]. The heat flow was calculated via the heat flow Equation (2), whereas the temperature was calculated [61,62] using the average surface temperatures and bottom hole temperatures (BHTs) of different wells via Equation (3). In this research, the Horner plot was used to find the corrected temperature as it is one of the simplest and most reliable indicators of equilibrium temperature.…”

“…The approach of integrating depthbased geological interpretations with geochemical analyses can be useful for understanding complex scenarios for hydrocarbon explorations [1]. The analyses of geohistory, subsurface basin architecture, heat flow conditions, source rock thermal maturation, and hydrocarbon migration in the sedimentary basins are important parameters for this approach [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], which helps to understand the deposition of different formations within the geological time scale and contributes to understanding the major depositional phases during basin development. In contrast, depth-based horizon modeling helps to identify present-day basin architecture, including the tectonic development, depositional style, and physical properties of each horizon [11,12].…”
