Book description
Sequence stratigraphy is a powerful tool for the prediction of
depositional porosity and permeability, but does not account for the
impact of diagenesis on these reservoir parameters. Therefore,
integrating diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy can provide a better
way of predicting reservoir quality.
This special publication consists of 19 papers (reviews and case
studies) exploring different aspects of the integration of diagenesis
and sequence stratigraphy in carbonate, siliciclastic, and mixed
carbonate-siliciclastic successions from various geological
settings. This book will be of interest to sedimentary petrologists
aiming to understand the distribution of diagenesis in siliciclastic
and carbonate successions, to sequence stratigraphers who can use
diagenetic features to recognize and verify interpreted key
stratigraphic surfaces, and to petroleum geologists who wish to
develop more realistic conceptual models for the spatial and temporal
distribution of reservoir quality.
This book is part of the International Association
of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications.
The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic volumes
edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to
sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high
standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology
and several of these volumes have become standard works of reference.
