In the late 1970s “Basin Modeling” was introduced as the term describing the quantitative modeling of geological processes in sedimentary basins on geological timescales. At that time basin models found their main application in heat and pore water flow modeling with regard to sediment compaction and temperature controlled chemistry of hydrocarbon generation. Since then geological, chemical, and transport related models have much improved. Basin modeling turned into a complex and integrated framework of many processes, such as multiphase fluid flow for hydrocarbon migration and accumulation, advanced reaction schemes for organic and mineral transformations or compressional and extensional tectonics.
The term “Basin Modeling” is not only used for the modeling of processes in sediments, but also for the modeling of crustal and mantle heat and mass flow processes to predict the sedimentary basin type and the related tectonic subsidence. We prefer the naming “Crustal Models”’ for this type of analysis. Obviously, processes in the crust are tightly linked to the sedimentary basin and hence integrated basin and crustal models have also been developed.
In addition to pure scientific research there has always been a commercial motivation for basin modeling as a means to understand, quantify and predict petroleum repositories. From the start, the petroleum industry has been the main sponsor for the development of basin modeling tools for exploration and
resource assessment. Over time, a number of specialized tools and different types of basin modeling simulators have been developed and with them new terminologies have been introduced, such as “Petroleum Systems Modeling”, “Exploration Risk Assessment” or “Prospect and Play Analysis”.
