Abstract Dolomite [CaMg (CO3) 2] forms in numerous geological settings, usually as a
diagenetic replacement of limestone, and is an important component of petroleum reservoir …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

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

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

With the commercial development of extremely low permeability oil and gas reservoirs, new
challenges have arisen both from operational and reservoir standpoints. Reservoir models …

Carbonate oil reservoirs are sometimes regarded with apprehension in the petroleum
industry since it can be difficult to predict the quality of, and ensure high recovery factors …

Carbonate sediments and rocks are valuable archives of Earth's past whose geochemical
compositions inform our understanding of Earth's surface evolution. Yet carbonates are also …

Abstract The Barremian–Aptian upper Khami Group and Albian–Campanian Bangestan
Group have been studied at outcrop in Lurestan, SW Iran. The upper Khami Group …

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 …
