Dolomitization requires not only favourable thermodynamic and kinetic conditions, but also a
fluid-flow mechanism to transport reactants to and products from the site of dolomitization …

Dolomitization often plays a critical role in the pore network development of platform
carbonates, with implications for reservoir quality distribution. Understanding both the …

Dedolomites are rocks formed by the replacement of dolomite with calcite which is driven by
the infiltration of Ca-rich water. This process has been described in the literature as either …

Despite intensive research over more than 200 years, the origin of dolomite, the mineral and
the rock, remains subject to considerable controversy. This is partly because some of the …

The dominant paradigm for petrogenesis of high-temperature fault-controlled dolomite,
widely known as “hydrothermal dolomite”(HTD), invokes upwelling of hot fluid along faulted …

Dedolomitization or calcitization, the replacement of dolomite by calcite, modifies the
porosity and permeability of carbonate rocks. This study evaluates the effects of …

Reactive transport models (RTMs) permit quantitative investigation of diagenesis and its
effects on reservoir quality. The RTM TOUGHREACT is used to investigate diagenesis in an …

Significant volumes of world hydrocarbon reserves occur in dolostones, and the majority of
these reservoirs are interpreted to be of reflux origin. We used a two-dimensional numerical …

The origin of replacement dolomites in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB)
remains controversial and problematic. In order to meet the considerable magnesium mass …

We simulate the processes of dedolomitization and calcium carbonate precipitation using
particle tracking. The study is stimulated by the results of a laboratory experiment that …
