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 …

This review summarises the major factors that affect the post-mortem history of skeletons in a
coral reef environment. Skeletal material is traced from life, through death, breakdown …

The 2nd Edition of Carbonate Reservoirs aims to educate graduate students and industry
professionals on the complexities of porosity evolution in carbonate reservoirs. In the …

Reefs are an extraordinary natural phenomenon. Visible from outer space, coral reefs are
the largest biologically constructed features known; in close proximity their spectacular …

Because meteoric water δ18O values decrease with decreasing ambient temperature and
increasing latitude, δ18O values of meteoric calcite cement should exhibit a similar relation …

Secondary porosity created by the post-depositional leaching of detrital grains and cements
can be of great economic importance. The term secondary porosity is only descriptive and …

This book presents both state-of-the art knowledge from Recent coral reefs (1.8 million to a
few centuries old) gained since the eighties, and introduces geologists, oceanographers …

Field, geochemical, and petrographic data for late Pleistocene dolomites from southeastern
Barbados suggest that the dolomite precipitated in the zone of mixing between a coastal …

Factors listed above must be integrated with established facies models in order to arrive at
comprehensive sequence and systems tract models. As should be the case with all models …

Abstract The Carbonate Analogs Through Time hypothesis states that “high-confidence, age-
specific predictive models for carbonate systems and for reservoir occurrence, composition …
