Abstract

This book is both a review and a look to the future, highlighting challenges for better predicting quantitatively the impact of diagenesis on reservoir rocks. Classical diagenesis studies make use of a wide range of descriptive analytical techniques to explain specific, relatively time-framed fluid-rock interaction processes, and deduce their impacts on reservoir rocks. Future operational workflows will consist of constructing a conceptual diagenesis model, quantifying the related diagenetic phases, and modelling the diagenetic processes. Innovative approaches are emerging for applied quantitative diagenesis, providing numerical data that can be used by reservoir engineers as entry (input) data, and for validating results of numerical simulations. Geometry-based, geostatistical and geochemical modelling do not necessarily mimic natural processes, they rather provide reasonable solutions to specific problems.

Abstract

The Phanerozoic Geology and Natural Resources of Egypt includes a series of chapters written by highly qualified group of researchers whose expertise is recognized and appreciated not only in Egypt, but also in the world over. The chapters span a wide range of geological subdisciplines including tectonics, paleogeography, stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, groundwater, and energy resources, just to name a few. In this regard, the book provides the reader with ample knowledge about the different facets of the fascinating and always intriguing geology of Egypt since the Precambrian time. For a junior researcher or a geoscience student, the book is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary one-stop resource that they will continue to reference and rely on for years to come. For a more experienced scientist, the book summarizes the current state of knowledge, highlights the magnitude of complexity of the geology of Egypt and northeast Africa, and reveals potential areas where future research should be directed. The book is written in simple, easy to understand English language and contains very useful high-quality illustrations. Last but not least, The Phanerozoic Geology and Natural Resources of Egypt has been reviewed and edited by world class, highly ranked geoscientists from Egypt, Europe, and USA.

Abstract

The recent interest in the petroleum potential of Lebanon’s offshore and onshore geology have sparked a multitude of research projects. It is in this framework that the studies dealing with the potential of Qartaba Structure, a box-fold anticline in north-central Lebanon, are situated. The plateau of this anticline exposes large areas of the Jurassic Kesrouane Formation which have undergone 2 modes of dolomitization, i.e. an hypersaline flux and fracture-related hydrothermal dolomitization. Given the scarcity of information on the latter dolomites, a study that fills the gap in knowledge becomes a necessity. For this purpose, this thesis aims to provide new diagenetic data of these dolomites by providing a paragenetic model that links all observed facies, textures and pore types to the geologic evolution of the Kesrouane Formation. Besides the detailed fieldwork done and the five types of microscopes used, chemical and mineralogical techniques are employed to get more quantitative information on the internal properties of the dolomites. The obtained petrographic data indicate the occurrence of 2 limestone facies, 2 dolomite types, 5 different cements, 8 pore types, 5 veins types and at least 2 compaction features. During early diagenesis, limestones were deposited in a shallow marine environment followed by early mechanical compaction. Later during burial, dolomitization occurs and is strongly influenced by the precursor lithologies. Later, the system is uplifted and the oxic conditions are introduced. Chemical analyses indicate a non-ferroan nature of the dolomites and minor to negligible clay contents. Sodium contents likely correspond to the presence of saline fluid inclusions that formed during dolomitization. Mineralogical, combined with chemical data indicate a supply of Ca and Mg enough to yield a stoichiometric and ordered growth of the dolomite crystals. Saddle dolomites are slightly less ordered due to imperfect crystal growth and/or additional Ca in the crystal lattice. The pyrites observed in the field are explained by a 4-step conceptual model. Framboidal pyrites were formed by bacterial sulfate reduction in the eogenetic realm, but were later recrystallized and remobilized by the hydrothermal fluids. This would explain the occurrence of pyrites on the fringes of the dolomite bodies, which have been oxidized by groundwaters after exposure and uplift of the Qartaba structure. In the field, a trend of increasing crystal size towards the fault zones is observed. To explain this phenomenon, 3 possible processes are suggested but still need further validation. These processes deal with (i) the supply of Ca and Mg adjacent to the faults, (ii) the “cleaning effect” of basaltic materials associated with the faults and (iii) the importance of mechanical strength of the precursor lithologies on the propagation of faults. All the available data imply that dolomites, especially the sucrosic types offer interesting reservoir properties. They have good intercrystalline porosity and better pore connectivity than other dolomites. It is also important, when assessing reservoir porosity, to discard the pores triggered by recent karst-related dissolution. These results demonstrate the complexity of the hydrothermal dolomites and the difficulties in studying the distribution of their reservoir properties in natural analogues exposed at the surface.
