Expulsion of fluids from tight rocks is an important process in sedimentary basins for phenomena such as distribution of overpressure and primary migration of hydrocarbons. This paper shows that the “Toggle Switch” (TS) algorithm of Miller and Nur is well-suited to model expulsion of brine by hydraulic fracturing from tight rocks undergoing compaction. Local random overpressure is generated…
BasinVis 1.0, a MATLAB-based modular open-source program released in 2016, has been used for multiple application studies of sedimentary basin analysis and modelling in both academic and industry fields. Based on these studies and user feedbacks, we have improved the workflow, revised user interfaces and developed novel techniques for the compaction trend estimation of infilling sediments and i…
