Fundamentals of Basin and Petroleum Systems Modeling

Thomas Hantschel is a physicist and his work focuses on numerical modeling and software design. He received a PhD in numerical methods of continuum-mechanics from the Martin-Luther-University of Halle in 1985. Since 1990, he has conceptualized and developed software for basin modeling simulators related to heat flow, pore pressure formation, chemical kinetics of petroleum generation and multiphase fluid-flow. He has been the managing director of IES GmbH Aachen, Germany since 2002. Armin I. Kauerauf is a physicist with interests in conceptual and applied aspects of simulation and software design. He received a PhD in statistical physics from the RWTH-Aachen University, Germany in 1996. Since 1998, he has been working for IES GmbH Aachen, Germany and developing basin modeling software. His major topics are PVT-analysis, migration modeling and statistics.Hantschel, Thomas is the author of 'Fundamentals of Basin and Petroleum Systems Modeling', published 2009 under ISBN 9783540723172 and ISBN 354072317X.
