Eogenetic and telogenetic cementation of sandstones

The present study concentrates on a major problem in many sedimentological studies, the prediction of Dorosity and permeability properties of sandstone unit in the subsurface: i.e., the destruction, preservation, and enhancement of porosity and permeability in subsequent diagenetic stages. Porosity and permeability properties of a sandstone, are, above all, related to cementation and thus to the factors controlling cementation. In addition, compaction is an important, usually complementary, process. It is governed by the clastic composition of the sediment and by the timing of cementation. Cem... Mehr ...
