Abstract Chlorite, an Fe-and Mg-rich aluminosilicate clay, may be either detrital or authigenic
in sandstones. Detrital chlorite includes mineral grains, components of lithic grain, matrix …

Sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and facies analysis have for many years been
disciplines rather separate from diagenesis which is concerned with processes occurring …

Diagenesis exerts a strong control on the quality and heterogeneity of most clastic
reservoirs. Variations in the distribution of diagenetic alterations usually accentuate the …

Porosity and permeability generally decrease with increasing depth (thermal exposure and
effective pressure); however, a significant number of deep (> 4 km [approximately 13,000 ft]) …

Models and concepts of sandstone diagenesis developed over the past two decades are
currently employed with variable success to predict Previous Hit reservoir Next Hit quality in …

The spatial and temporal distribution of diagenetic alterations in siliciclastic sequences is
controlled by a complex array of interrelated parameters that prevail during eodiagenesis …

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

Deformation bands are the most common strain localization feature found in deformed
porous sandstones and sediments, including Quaternary deposits, soft gravity slides and …

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 …

Plots are presented comparing average porosity vs. depth for 30,122 siliciclastic petroleum
reservoirs and 10,481 carbonate petroleum reservoirs covering all petroleum-producing …
