The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

The diagenetic evolution of kaolin and illitic minerals in sandstones is described here. The
structural characterization of these minerals, the possible reaction pathways leading to their …

This chapter presents typical mid-IR (MIR) and near-IR (NIR) spectra of different clay mineral
families and discusses how basic information on crystal chemistry can be derived. MIR …

This book is about the most complete work on the subject of clay minerals thus far
conceived. Its scope is one of basics to general principles to use in real geologic situations …

This paper addresses the origin, distribution pattern and burial diagenetic evolution of clay
minerals in sandstone: kaolin, smectite, illite, chlorite, berthierine, glauconite and mixed …

Fig. 1 Pressure–temperature diagram relating diagenesis to metamorphic regimes and
typical P–T gradients in Earth's crust. The crustal geotherm of 10 C km− 1 is representative …

It is our pleasure to present this large body of information and thoughts of many mineral
scientists which has accumulated over decades. Illite is a mineral that has been discovered …

The kaolinite-group minerals kaolinite, dickite, nacrite, halloysite including its metaform and
their associates allophane and imogolite are phyllosilicates characterized by a rather simple …

In recent years, experimental and theoretical methods have provided new insights into the
size, shape, reactivity, and stability of clay minerals. Although diverse and complex, the …
