Charge access is a critical risk element to consider during hydrocarbon exploration. Often
charge access is evaluated using complex simulations and modeling, but in this study a
simple and effective map-based fetch analysis is presented using present-day and
paleostructural surfaces. The basic workflow involves using present-day mapped horizons
and modeling accumulations located at all of the horizons above a mature source rock and
then vertically adding the accumulation presence maps into a single map. An additional …
