Highlights • PetroMod is the 1st basin modelling software including methane hydrate simulation. • The Gas hydrate module includes physical, thermodynamic, and kinetic properties. • PetroMod simulates the evolution over time of the GHSZ. • PetroMod includes a kinetic for the organic matter degradation at low temperature. Abstract Within the German gas hydrate initiative SUGAR, a new 2-D/3-D module simulating the biogenic generation of methane from organic matter and the formation of gas hydrates has been developed and included in the petroleum systems modelling software package PetroMod®. Typically, PetroMod® simulates the thermogenic generation of multiple hydrocarbon components (oil and gas), their migration through geological strata, finally predicting oil and gas accumulations in suitable reservoir formations.
