The feldspar group is one of the most common types of minerals in the earth's crust.
Feldspar alteration (including the whole processes of feldspar dissolution, transfer of …

The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

Descriptions of mineralogy and textural relationships in sandstones and limestones have
been used to establish a sequence of diagenetic events (epigenesis), involving mineral …

Overpressure can be produced by the following processes:(1) increase of compressive
stress,(2) changes in the volume of the pore fluid or rock matrix, and (3) fluid movement or …

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 composition of clastic sediments and rocks is controlled by a complex suite of
parameters operating during pedogenesis, erosion, transport, deposition, and burial. The …

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

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 …

Accretionary prisms are composed of initially saturated sediments caught in subduction
zone tectonism. As sediments deform, fluid pressures rise and fluid is expelled, resembling a …

The objectives of this paper are to provide basic knowledge on shale resource systems as
well as advancing specific points for their assessment. Shale resource systems that include …
