Linking Diagenesis to Sequence Stratigraphy (PDF)

Sequence stratigraphy is a powerful tool for the prediction of
depositional porosity and permeability, but does not account for
the impact of diagenesis on these reservoir parameters. Therefore,
integrating diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy can provide a
better way of predicting reservoir quality.

This special publication consists of 19 papers (reviews and case
studies) exploring different aspects of the integration of
diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy in carbonate, siliciclastic,
and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic successions from various
geological settings. This book will be of interest to
sedimentary petrologists aiming to understand the distribution of
diagenesis in siliciclastic and carbonate successions, to sequence
stratigraphers who can use diagenetic features to recognize and
verify interpreted key stratigraphic surfaces, and to petroleum
geologists who wish to develop more realistic conceptual
models for the spatial and temporal distribution of reservoir
quality.

This book is part of the href="http://www.sedimentologists.org/">International Association
of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications.

The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic
volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to
sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high
standards as those published in the journal href="http://www.iasnet.org/publications/sed.php">Sedimentology
and several of these volumes have become standard works of
reference.
