Low porosity and permeability organic-rich sedimentary rocks categorized as “unconventional reservoirs” comprise significant global hydrocarbon reserves. Characterizing unconventional materials is challenging, as pores are often less than 100 nm equivalent circular diameter. Add…
The Laurentine Shore is the Imperial Roman palaeo-shoreline preserved up to 1km inland of the southern, distal edge of the Tiber Delta coastline of Lazio, western Central Italy. The progradation of the delta is recorded on the site as a series of shore-parallel relict dune ridge…

The formation of dolomite at low temperature (< 80 °C) is uncommon in modern environments, however dolomite is abundant in the geologic record. The paradox between the scarcity of modern dolomite and abundance in ancient dolomite has been of long-term interest to geologists. …
Chemical compaction is one of the most significant diagenetic processes that could considerably affect the reservoir quality and prevent the vertical movement of fluids due to cements and accumulated insoluble residues along stylolites. The bed-parallel stylolitization is a wide…
Thin-section analysis of the upper portion of the Late Permian Khuff-C reservoir in southern Ghawar Field revealed six microfacies, each of which was deposited on a unique setting within a carbonate ramp. The ramp was mostly flat with little topographic variations but with many …
