Fault controlled fluid flow and quartz cementation in porous sandstones
Quartz cement is a major culprit of porosity and permeability loss in deeply buried sandstone hydrocarbon reservoirs. A major debate is whether quartz cement is entirely internally derived or if fluid flow and mass transfer can import silica for quartz cementation. Two Late Jurassic normal faults ar...
