The present volume represents a series of papers arising from a conference on'The
Geometry and Petrogenesis of Dolomite Hydrocarbon Reservoirs' held at the Geological …

At the 8th Bathurst Meeting of Carbonate Sedimentologists in Liverpool, July 1987, the
editors-to-be decided to hold a conference on dolomitization to honour Déodat de Dolomieu …

Dolomites form in a range of environments by processes able to drive large volumes of
magnesium-rich waters through existing carbonate sediments or rocks. These fluids need …

Sedimentology and Geochemistry of Dolostones-The need has always existed for
understanding the processes of dolomitization and the origin of thick sequences of …

This volume contains 23 state-of-the-art papers presented at the Dolomieu Conference on
Carbonate Platforms and Dolomitization held in September 1991 in Ortisei, Italy. The …

Despite intensive research over more than 200 years, the origin of dolomite, the mineral and
the rock, remains subject to considerable controversy. This is partly because some of the …

Porosity in dolomites is not necessarily related to dolomitization. Many interparticle and
dissolutional voids are inherited from precursor limestones. Voids related to dolomitization …

Dolomite is a complex mineral. It can precipitate directly from solutions containing
magnesium, calcium and carbonate ions to form cement or unlithified sediment. However …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses dolomites and dolomitization. There are
numerous kinds of dolomite. According to numerous investigators, primary precipitation of …

Systematic analyses of the published record of dolomite reservoirs worldwide reveal that the
majority of hydrocarbon-producing dolomite reservoirs occurs in (1) peritidal-dominated …
