Impact of Grain Coats on Quartz Overgrowth and Reservoir Properties Benjamin Busch

Syntaxial overgrowth cementation, and thereby reservoir quality, can be affected by grain coating phases inhibiting nucleation. Reaction kinetics provide a means to model the development of cement phases over time. Additional algorithms constraining compaction behavior, porosity, and permeability development are used to model reservoir quality. Sub-vertical deformation bands can compartmentalize reservoirs by impacting bed-parallel permeability and preserve geochemical alterations.
