McDonald D.A., Schmidt V. Porosity evolution in sandstone reservoirs

Editions Technip, France, 2002, p. 642 As this book is intended for engineering students in geology and geophysics, drillers, producers, and economists, it voluntarily leaves out certain aspects of geology such as mineralogy, the geology of crystalline basements, and metamorphism. It essentially deals with sedimentary geology and was designed as a teaching support with an emphasis on the basics and language used in the profession. It is based on...

Bruce B. Velde, Alain Meunier. The Origin of Clay Minerals in Soils and Weathered Rocks, Sрringеr, 2008, ISBN: 3540756347, 426 p. This book aims to further a better understanding of such mechanisms, and it is thus destined for an audience of ecologists, pedologists, agronomists and other researchers involved in earth surface science. Knowledge of the origin and transformation of clay minerals, their dynamic response to changing chemistry, is the...

Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2003, 649 pages Diagenesis affects all sediments after their deposition and includes a fundamental suite of physical, chemical and biological processes that control the texture, mineralogy and fluid-flow properties of sedimentary rocks. Understanding the processes and products of diagenesis is thus a critical component in the analysis of the evolution of sedimentary basins, and has practical implications for subsurface...

Elsevier, 2006, p. 375 Sequence stratigraphy analyzes the sedimentary response to changes in base level, and the depositional trends that emerge from the interplay of accommodation (space available for sediments to fill) and sedimentation. Sequence stratigraphy has tremendous potential to decipher the Earth’s geological record of local to global changes, and to improve the predictive aspect of economic exploration and production. For these reaso...

Springer-Verlag, 1992, p. 628 This book addresses both qualitative and quantitative aspects of basin analysis, including topics such as various flux rates, diagenesis, and fluid flow, in the context of plate tectonics and sedimentary geology. Tectonic subsidence and uplift are prerequisites for basin formation and terrigenous sediment supply, but sedimentary processes in a basin are governed by other factors, including water circulation and recy...

Published by InTech. Janeza Trdine 9, 51000 Rijeka, Croatia. 2011. ISBN 978-953-307-189-3, Hard cover, 334 p. Первоисточник: . Sediment transport is a book that covers a wide variety of subject matters. It combines the personal and professional experience of the authors on solid particles transport and related problems, whose expertise is focused in aqueous systems and in laboratory flumes. This includes a series of chapters on hydrodynamics an...

Springer; 2003, Pages: 821 More than 75% of the earth's land surface is covered by sediments and sedimentary rocks. Near-surface sediments constitute the reservoirs for almost all groundwater, and are vitally important substrates for soils, wetlands, and shallow marine environments, while more deeply buried sediments provide most of the world's reserves of fossil fuels. The study and understanding of sediments and sedimentary rocks is therefor...

W. Schlager, Vrije Universiteit/Earth and Life Sciences De Boelelaan 1085, 1081 HV Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2002. p. 146. ISBN 90-806364-2-8 This booklet supports a short course in carbonate sedimentology. It is meant as a teaching aid, not a replacement of the course. Anybody using it for self-study should be prepared to occasionally consult an introductory textbook, such as F?chtbauer & Richter (1988), Jones & Desrochers (1992), Tucker...
