Simulating Hydrocarbon Migration Using Agent-Based Modeling (ABM)
Instructors: Dr. Hernán Merlino (FIUBA), Dr. Silvia Barredo (FIUBA) In petroleum systems, understanding how hydrocarbons migrate through heterogeneous porous media remains one of the fundamental challenges in petroleum geology. Traditionally, these processes are modeled using differential equations that describe system behavior at a continuous scale. However, many key phenomena—such as percolation, pore connectivity, and the…
