Oil and water : fibrous illite diagenesis and the onset of hydrocarbon charge in the petroleum systems of the northern North Sea
Illite growth during oil field burial detrimentally effects reservoir sandstones by reducing permeability. Illite diagenesis can be dated using the isotopic K-Ar decay system. The potential value of this data is the paleocalibration of basin models to illite age related geological events. The fundam...
