The fact that you have active generation in the fetch area today does not guarantee that sufficient quantities have been expelled and migrated to the trap.Capillary Forceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856385584044903023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938338130090013295.post-33217233552634970202011-03-07T08:06:37.878-08:002011-03-07T08:06:37.878-08:00Interesting and thought provoking article, as usua...Interesting and thought provoking article, as usual, Dr Beta Factor. One nit to pick: the apparent fact that the SR is more mature than the reservoired oil does not mean that timing of generation is <i>unimportant</i>, does it? More accurately, it means that the relationship between timing of generation and timing of charge is more complex than often assumed. And that timing of generation has to be coupled with an understanding of migration, and especially of migration losses, in order to properly predict charge.<br />Maybe you should develop an events chart tool for the industry that includes migration lag...Capillary Forceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07856385584044903023noreply@blogger.com
