This review examines the history and current practice of technologies for imaging of pores in
sedimentary rocks. Pores are that portion of the rock volume occupied by components of …

ABSTRACT Five Lower to Middle Jurassic sandstone reservoirs from the Norwegian sector
provide examples of deep porosity preservation caused by grain-coating, authigenic …

Reservoir quality and heterogeneity are critical risk factors in tight oil exploration. The
integrated, analysis of the petrographic characteristics and the types and distribution of …

Proper assessment of the relative importance of porosity loss by compaction and
cementation is important to the prediction of porosity in sandstones, studies of mass …

To evaluate compaction as a factor in porosity evolution, a plot of intergranular volume vs.
depth was constructed using data from relatively uncemented reservoir sandstones from a …

Presently available techniques for predicting quantitative reservoir quality typically are
limited in applicability to specific geographic areas or lithostratigraphic units, or require input …

A quantitative model is proposed for the dependence of porosity and permeability on
diagenesis in subarkosic arenites of the Middle Jurassic Garn Formation. Porosity variation …

Compared to conventional reservoirs, pore structure and diagenetic alterations of
unconventional tight sand oil reservoirs are highly heterogeneous. The Upper Triassic …

Reservoir quality is a critical risk factor in deep to ultradeep reservoirs at depths> 4.5 km.
Analysis of Paleogene Wilcox sandstones on the upper Texas Gulf Coast provides insight …

Quartz in mudstones of the Mowry Shale (Cretaceous, Rocky Mountain region) takes several
forms: extrabasinal detrital silt (some with transported overgrowths), replacement of skeletal …
