ARCO Exploration and Production Technology, a division of Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), spent over 15 years of research to build this state of the art basin modeling program. The results of many key research projects were incorporated in Genesis so that the technology investment can be applied in the exploration projects. ARCO sponsored many research projects to support the development of Genesis. These projects included source rock data base study, kinetics of source rocks, source rock sorption research, burial history database, bottom hole temperature correction, paleo-surface temperature study, ... to name a few. ZetaWare continues to work closely with the top minds in the industry, especially those at the ZetaWare's consortium companies. Genesis has benefited greatly from the on going research.





Genesis is an easy to use 1D basin modeling software. Formerly developed at ARCO, it won the Outstanding Technical Achievement Award. It has many technical advances not found in other commercial 1D models. For example, its full lithosphere thermal model allows prediction of heat flow away from well control and through geological time. Genesis works with Trinity to become part of your complete petroleum systems workflow.





KINEX is a quick source rock maturation modeling tool for predicting expelled products and GOR from a source rock with inter-bedded organo-facies ( geochemical log). It features drag and drop interactivity and professional graphical output. Over 40 different maturation parameters are predicted including oil and gas expelled, GOR, vitrinite reflectance, and properties of expelled products such as density and interfacial tension, etc.





Trinity ushers in the next generation of petroleum system analysis. It is a map based tool that allows users to interactively model maturation and migration, predict charge volumes and composition, analyze phase/pvt properties, calculate column heights and reserves. Proprietary algorithms allow Trinity to Monte Carlo the risks involved in charge prediction with mapped variables. Features include dynamic cross section, instant geohistory and 3D visualization.





Trinity 3D is for interactive 3D migration, tracking hydrocarbon volumes and composition in 3D, through time, along faults, unconformities, and through salt welds
