1. Assessment of the petroleum potential of basins and prospects interpreting geological and geochemistry information: modeling of compaction, thermal changes in inorganic and organic rock components, pressure and the generation of oil and gas, leading to the probabilistic calculation of the charge of hydrocarbons and the dynamic volume capacity of traps and plays, considering the migration of fluids integrated to the interpretation of the seismic information. 2. Evaluation of the petroleum system components and processes, with play fairway analysis. Selection of basins, conventional and unconventional prospects, and the integration of a ranked portfolio.3. Training and technical assistance in which multidisciplinary groups in oil companies, research groups, and universities learn to identify source rock, reservoirs, seals, and traps components, and to model main basin processes, establish uncertainties and risks using the modeling and probabilistic software for achieving areas evaluations through virtual consultations, and on-site visits.4. Areas onshore and offshore in México, US, Venezuela, Arabia, Colombia, Argentina, Guyana, Perú, Brasil, Norway, China, analyzed in a variety of geological settings: including rift, uplifting and erosional events, glacial periods, subsalt petroleum system components, overpressure, diagenesis modeling, nanoporosity creation. 5.
