Compaction and cementation controls on reservoir quality in Buntsandstein red beds

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the variability of reservoir quality in fluvial siliciclastic rocks, emphasizing how factors like micron-scale grain coatings and bedding styles affect permeability. It utilizes outcrop analysis to investigate depositional environments and diagenesis, focusing on a process-oriented approach to understand meander deposits. Key topics include the compaction and cementation behaviors of different lithofacies during burial and the reasons behind discrepancies in porosity and permeability values.
