Petroleum exploration and production is a complex task where the use of physical models is imperative to minimize exploration risks and maximize the return on the invested capital during the production phase of new oil fields. Over time, these models have become more and more complex, giving rise to a tendency of integration between several simulators and the need for new multiphysics simulations, where single-physics models are solved together in a coupled way. This work presents the GeMA (Geo Modelling Analysis) framework, a library to support the development of new multiphysics simulators, allowing both the coupling of new models built with the framework as a base and the integration with pre-existing simulators. Its objective is to promote the use of software engineering techniques, such as extensibility, reusability, modularity and portability in the construction of engineering physical models, allowing engineers to focus on the physical problem formulation since the framework takes care of data management and other necessary support functions, speeding up code development. Built to aid during the entire multiphysics simulation workflow, the framework architecture supports multiple simulation and coupling paradigms, with special emphasis given to finite element methods. Being capable of representing the spatial domain by multiple discretizations (meshes) and exchanging values between them, the framework also implements some important concepts of extensibility, through the combined use of plugins and abstract interfaces, configurable orchestration and fast prototyping through the use of the Lua language. This work also presents a set of test cases used to assess the framework correctness and expressiveness, with particular emphasis given to a 2D basin model that couples FEM non-linear temperature calculations based on finite elements, mechanical compaction and hydrocarbon maturation and generation.
