This advanced text treats the transformation of sediment into rock,
a fundamental process which directly determines the storage and
transmissibility properties of reservoirs and seals in hydrocarbon
and groundwater systems and in strata-bound mineralization.
Attention is paid to diagenetic data from classical petrography and
geochemistry and the statistical techniques required to establish
its significance and assist in its interpretation. Historically
under-used methodologies such as mass balance calculations and the
study of modern aquifer systems for understanding rock properties
below ancient unconformities are also emphasised. New ground is
broken by discussing physico-chemical processes and controls
against a background of geological and hydrological evolution of
sedimentary basins. In particular, this reconciles the importance
of chemical kinetics in shallow, low temperature environments with
that of equilibrium thermodynamics in deep, high temperature
environments for the evolution of diagenetic products. It also
allows detailed treatment of the economically important topic of
the loss of porosity with depth. Throughout, the emphasis is on the
quantitative description and evaluation of the time-variant
parameters controlling heat, fluid and mass transport in porous
rock, and upon their integration using mathematics. A full
mathematical background is provided and all the basic equations are
rigorously derived. Audience: This book will prove essential
reading for postgraduate academics and industrial professionals
whose work involves predicting rock properties for basin
evaluation, and is expected to stimulate new diagenetic research.
