Based on the dynamic simulation of the 3-D structure-sedimentary modeling, the unit entity model has been adopted to transfer the heterogeneous complex passage system into limited simple homogeneous entity, and then the traditional dynamic simulation has been used to calculate the phase and the drive forces of the hydrocarbon, and the artificial neural network(ANN) technology has been applied to resolve such problems as the direction, velocity
and quantity of the hydrocarbon
migration
among the unit entities. Through simulating of petroleum
migration
and accumulation in ZhuIII depression, the complex mechanism of hydrocarbon
migration
and accumulation has been opened out.
