The geometry and petrogenesis of dolomite hydrocarbon reservoirs

摘要: The wide distribution of dolomite rocks in North American, Middle- and Far-Eastern hydrocarbon reservoirs is reason enough for their intensive study. In this volume enthusiasts review progress define the current boundaries research, related particularly to importance these as reservoirs. As might be expected, reviews provide critical analyses past ideas on origins why many are no longer tenable. Discussions range between conceptual models numerical simulations flow paths dolomitizing fluids, geochemical modelling, microbial mediation. Case studies from areas diverse America, Middle East, SE Asia Australia a solid background but illustrate important differences views enigmatic rocks.
