Carbonate reservoirs porosity and diagenesis in a sequence stratigraphic / Пористость карбонатных коллекторов и диагенез в секвенс-стратиграфии

While this book is concerned primarily with porosity evolution and diagenesis in carbonate reservoirs, the reader and the authors must ultimately share a common understanding of the fundamental characteristics of the overall carbonate system. Therefore, the first three chapters are designed to highlight general concepts unique to— and essential for understanding—the carbonate realm.

Chapter 1: The basic nature of carbonate sediments and sedimentation reviews the fundamentals of carbonate sedimentation, including the bathymetric framework of carbonate depositional facies and environments.

Chapter 2: The application of the concepts of sequence stratigraphy to carbonate rock sequences examines the response of carbonate depositional systems to changes in relative sea level.

Chapter 3: The impact of global tectonics and biologic evolution on the carbonate system presents an overview of the Phanerozoic long-term global tectonic and climatic cycles that have accompanied the evolution of the carbonate-secreting and precipitation-inducing biosphere.

There are a number of excellent additional references for readers who require additional information about carbonate grain types and depositional environments. Scholle and Ulmer-Scholle (2003) published an illustrated color compendium of carbonate grain types and textures. For in-depth reviews of carbonate depositional environments, consult Carbonate Depositional Environments, edited by Scholle, Bebout, and Moore (1983) and Carbonate Sedimentology by Tucker and Wright (1990).
The Appendix at the end of this book provides definitions and brief explanations of key sequence stratigraphic concepts. The reader who desires a more thorough exploration of sequence stratigraphic precepts and their applications to carbonate (and siliciclastic) strata should consult the book Sequence Stratigraphy, edited by Emery and Myers (1996). <...>
