Rosneft experience in the basin modeling application to assess the hydrocarbon potential of the offshore areas and selection of exploration work directions

Key words: modeling, hydrocarbon systems, sedimentary basins, source rocks.

This paper describes the experience of Rosneft basin modeling, challenges arising in the process of sedimentary basin modeling. The examples are provided of practical application of hydrocarbon system simulation technologies.
