Diagenesis of Carbonate Rocks

Impact of diagenesis on carbonate mound formation

Impact of diagenesis on carbonate mound formation This thesis is devoted to define the parameters influencing cold-water coral growth and therefore carbonate mound development with a focus on the impact of diagenesis on mound sediments. The first part of this thesis (Chapters 2 to 4) discusses the distribution and growth history of carbonate mounds, the sedimentary processes leading to sediment...

Characterization of Bitumen Bearing Carbonate Rocks

Several countries, including Canada, contain sizeable bitumen resources in highly fractured carbonate rocks. Any possible recovery of bitumen from these reservoirs will be highly dependent on proper understanding of the rock and fluid properties and how they vary in the reservoir. These carbonates are extremely heterogeneous, and as a result proper reservoir characterization is challenging. In ...
