Abstract The Brent Group is extensively cored in the northern Viking Graben and East
Shetland Basin in the range between 1.8 and 4.5 km. It therefore offers the opportunity to …

Sedimentary rocks contain the most important archive of environmental change through
earth history. They record changing climates, the movement of plates, and the rise and fall of …

This textbook outlines the physical, chemical, and biologic properties of the major
sedimentary rocks, as revealed by petrographic microscopy, geochemical techniques, and …

Sandstone compositions result from a complex interplay between provenance and factors
that operate during the sedimentation cycle. Accurate identification and discrimination of …

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 …

This study aims to determine the interdependence of deposition, tectonics and diagenesis in
a prolific hydrocarbon reservoir. This has been achieved through an integrated field study …

Dissolution of feldspar and mica and precipitation of kaolinite require a through flow of
meteoric water to remove cations such as Na+ and K+ and silica. Compaction driven pore …

The traditional heavy mineral analysis is a fundamental and cheap provenance tracing
method for clastic sediments. It provides comprehensive provenance information and …

We have developed process-based models for early grain coats and their impact on deep
reservoir quality in the Jurassic eolian Norphlet Formation, Alabama, with implications for …

The Triassic Sherwood Sandstone in the Corrib Field, Slyne Basin west of Ireland on the
European continental margin, is a dry gas reservoir with a Mercia mudstone top-seal …
