The diagenetic transformation of detrital clay minerals significantly influences sandstone reservoir quality, with fluid chemistry and temperature playing key roles in dictating pathways during burial diagenesis. While these processes are well-documented basinal settings, the alterations sediments dynamic environments like estuaries remain underexplored. This study investigates impact composition on modern estuarine through hydrothermal experiments using from Gironde estuary, SW France. A...
Smectite is an important component of siliciclastic reservoirs in many petroliferous basins around the world and has numerous industrial environmental applications. Beyond its ability to preserve or degrade porosity permeability sandstones, smectite also acts as a precursor for other diagenetic cements, such illite zeolites. While studies have explored role chlorite formation, controls mechanisms governing formation authigenic coatings from feldspar precursors are rarely investigated. In...
Carbonate microporosity can vary significantly across depositional lithofacies and cycles, owing primarily to the high degree of heterogeneity in their pore sizes, throat radius, geometry, connectivity. This is further compounded by complex diagenetic alterations during various stages burial. In addition, presence micropores, which are abundant carbonate rocks, but not visible using conventional techniques, challenging characterize. To address this issue, our study focused on Middle Jurassic...
Abstract Ferruginous deposits are iron-rich sediments or sedimentary rocks found in various sizes, shapes, and compositions within strata different depositional settings. This study investigates the characteristics, distribution, origin of ferruginous Late Ordovician glaciogenic Sarah Formation surrounding central Saudi Arabia. Several types have been identified through field observations laboratory investigations, including thin-section petrography, geochemical, surface, bulk mineralogical...
