Reservoirs generally consist of sandstones or carbonates exhibiting
heterogeneities caused by a wide range of factors. Some of these
formed depositionally (e.g. as channels, palaeosols, clay seams or
salts), others may be diagenetic in origin (e.g. carbonate or
silica cemented zones, authigenic clays, karstic surfaces). The
severity with which diagenesis affects rock systems results from
the interplay between the diagenetic process itself and the
timescale over which it operated. The book provides a wide-ranging
overview of diagenetic processes and responses in calcareous,
argillaceous, arenaceous and carbon-rich (microbial and organic)
sedimentary systems. It introduces diagenetic concepts, reviews
existing knowledge, and shows how existing qualitative approaches
might be developed in more quantitative ways. Several chapters
consider mass balance calculations and the temporal and spatial
aspects of diagenetic processes. It is unique, as a textbook, in
providing such a breadth of diagenetic subject range and such depth
of coverage in each topic. It provides a source reference for
advanced students and professionals active in reservoir and aquifer
studies.
