The topic of sediment diagenesis is of fundamental importance to
industry in the evaluation of hydrocarbon and water reservoir
rocks. Detailed knowledge of the diagenetic textures, fabrics, and
minerals, and a prediction of the regional diagenetic response,
partly controls hydrocarbon recovery programmes. In other words,
knowledge of the diagenesis can aid (or even control) conservation
policy. Similarly, facies and diagenetic trends w.ithin basins can
influence exploration policy. This volume incorporates the majority
of the principal contributions given to the NATO Advanced Study
Institute held in the University of Reading, U.K., from July
12th-25th, 1981, at which the major themes of carbonate and
terrigenous clastic sediments were treated sequentially from
deposition to deep burial. Eighty selected scientists from twelve
NATO and three other countries participated in the Institute. The
keynote addresses which acted as the touchstones for discussion are
presented here in the expectation that they will stimulate a still
wider audience. We gratefully acknowledge the award of a grant from
the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO to run the Institute, and
also the cooperation of the University of Reading. Mrs. D. M.
Powell helped in many ways with the organisation, and also retyped
the entire manuscript of this book. A. Parker B. lv. Sellwood vii
