The dolomites of the Jurassic Smackover Formation have been the subject of considerable
study in past decades, yet there is little agreement on the processes that produced these …

The possibility of recrystallization is a long‐standing barrier to deciphering the genetic origin
of dolomites. There is often uncertainty regarding whether or not characteristics of ancient …

Abstract Thick Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician carbonates were deposited on a shallow
marine platform in the northern Tarim Basin, which were extensively dolomitized, particularly …

This paper deals with thermal analyses, burning trials and reactivity tests on 15 carbonate
rocks, ie, pure and impure carbonates, mud-supported and grain-supported limestones …

Dolomite reservoirs formed by dissolution are significant for hydrocarbon exploration, but
their origins are poorly understood because of their complexity. This study investigated the …

The present study investigates the microfacies and the effects of diagenetic processes on
the reservoir quality of limestones of the Fort Member, Jaisalmer Formation, Western …

Magnesium isotopes are an emerging tool to study the geological processes recorded in
carbonates. Calcite, due to its ubiquitous occurrence and the large Mg isotope fractionation …

The Early Jurassic dolomitized carbonates in the Venetian Alp, represent a surface
analogue of the hydrocarbon exploration targets in Adriatic offshore and Po Plain, Italy …

Several giant oilfileds have been discovered during recent exploration in the Ordovician
carbonates in zone between the Awati and Manjiaer depressions, Tarim Basin, China …

In conventional studies of tracing dolomitization and diagenetic fluids, REEs of dolomites
were widely used as been normalized by PAAS, NASC or chondrite. However, most …
