In structurally-controlled dolomitization systems, there is a general consensus that the
formation of dolostone-limestone transitions, termed here as “dolomitization fronts”, is …

Reactive transport numerical modelling is used to explore chemical interactions between
fluids and solids associated with a broad range of subsurface processes. It is a powerful tool …

Eogenetic karst has been regarded as a dominant origin of hydrocarbon reservoirs, whereas
quantifying the fluid-rock interactions and their impacts on porosity evolution during the …

The dominant paradigm for petrogenesis of high-temperature fault-controlled dolomite,
widely known as “hydrothermal dolomite”(HTD), invokes upwelling of hot fluid along faulted …

Despite extensive research in the field of evaporative dolomitization, the close link between
anhydrite precipitation and dolomitization is still poorly explored within the context of …

Neogene dolomites are common in island settings, and they have been used to understand
the complex processes of dolomitization. The island of Bonaire was one of the first locations …

Reactive transport modeling (RTM) is an emerging method used to address geological
issues in diagenesis research. However, the extrapolation of RTM results to practical …

Paleokarst is widespread in ancient carbonate rocks and is often related to hydrocarbon
reservoirs, but the physico-chemical mechanism of forming such paleokarst reservoir …

Carbonate depositional and early diagenetic processes overlap in time because of the high
chemical reactivity of calcite. Previous studies have modeled early diagenesis in a static …

Dolomitization of carbonate reservoirs is considered a major process for porosity
enhancement and is therefore of great relevance in hydrocarbon exploration. Despite the …
