Abstract

This chapter describes the principal factors that govern fluid flow and pressure in sedimentary basins, how they can be measured and modelled and finally what role fluids play in conventional petroleum systems evaluation including generation, migration and entrapment of hydrocarbons. Fluid flow and in particular hydrocarbon movement are of great interest to the petroleum industry and therefore there is a vast body of literature. This chapter is therefore restricted to some key aspects dealing with the fundamentals of fluid flow in sedimentary basins and petroleum systems.
