Sequence stratigraphy is a powerful tool for the prediction of depositional porosity and permeability, but does not account for the impact of diagenesis on these reservoir parameters. Therefore, integrating diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy can provide a better way of predicting reservoir quality. This special publication consists of 19 papers (reviews and case studies) exploring different aspects of the integration of diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy in carbonate, siliciclastic, and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic successions from various geological settings. This book will be of interest to sedimentary petrologists aiming to understand the distribution of diagenesis in siliciclastic and carbonate successions, to sequence stratigraphers who can use diagenetic features to recognize and verify interpreted key stratigraphic surfaces, and to petroleum geologists who wish to develop more realistic conceptual models for the spatial and temporal distribution of reservoir quality. This book is part of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications. The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology and several of these volumes have become standard works of reference.

In recent years there has been a virtual explosion of stratigraphic studies utilizing the principles of sequence stratigraphy. Although the concept of time stratigraphy is not new, the packaging of depositional units into systems tracts and sequences is. This new approach has led to the reassessment of areas that in some cases have been the subject of intense geological scrutiny for decades. The fundamental principles upon which sequence stratigraphy is based are applicable at a broad range of temporal and physical scales. This volume arises from several sessions on sequence stratigraphy held at the Thirteenth International Sedimentological Congress, with emphasis on facies associations within a sequence stratigraphic framework.

During the Albian stage (104 to 110 Ma), intertropical conditions allowed the development of a broad carbonate platform along the northern margin of the proto-Gulf of Mexico. Carbonate-rich sediments were deposited in various environments belonging to the shallow marine realm. Their production is mostly controlled by the type and efficiency of benthic ecosystems. In 2002, a major flooding exposed a 63m-thick carbonate succession belonging to the Glen Rose Formation in Canyon Lake Gorge, located northwest of San Antonio. The deposition of these rocks in shallow-water environments facilitated their subaerial exposure during times of low sea-level. Consequently, weathering due to their interaction with freshwater ensued. Diagenetic modifications comprise dissolution and early cementation promoting the early lithification of carbonate sediments. With this study, we aim to highlight a potential link between the sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry and the mechanical behavior of carbonate rocks of the Glen Rose Formation, using microfacies and diagenetic history to confirm the results. Identification of the standard microfacies characteristic of this formation is assessed by the petrographic analysis of acetate peels, further complemented by cathodoluminescence microscopy performed on selected thin sections. Sequence stratigraphy helps to pinpoint the stratigraphic location of subaerially exposed surfaces, which may thus exhibit post-depositional modifications. Carbon and oxygen isotopic analyses are used to complement sequence stratigraphic analysis; chemostratigraphic correlation with biostratigraphically-constrained series refines the dating of the Glen Rose Formation at Canyon Lake Gorge to 108-110 Ma. Fracturing potential is examined using a Schmidt hammer, assessing various geomechanical properties and especially the stiffness of the rock samples. Microfacies type and degree of cementation seems to be the main controlling factors.

Sedimentology and stratigraphy are neighbors yet distinctly separate entities within the earth sciences. Sedimentology searches for the common traits of sedimentary rocks regardless of age as it reconstructs environments and processes of deposition and erosion from the sediment record. Stratigraphy, by contrast, concentrates on changes with time, on measuring time and correlating coeval events. Sequence stratigraphy straddles the boundary between the two fields. This book, dedicated to carbonate rocks, approaches sequence stratigraphy from its sedimentologic background. This book attempts to communicate by combining different specialities and different lines of reasoning, and by searching for principles underlying the bewildering diversity of carbonate rocks. It provides enough general background, in introductory chapters and appendices, to be easily digestible for sedimentologists and stratigraphers as well as earth scientists at large.

The 2nd Edition of Carbonate Reservoirs aims to educate graduate students and industry professionals on the complexities of porosity evolution in carbonate reservoirs. In the intervening 12 years since the first edition, there have been numerous studies of value published that need to be recognized and incorporated in the topics discussed. A chapter on the impact of global tectonics and biological evolution on the carbonate system has been added to emphasize the effects of global earth processes and the changing nature of life on earth through Phanerozoic time on all aspects of the carbonate system. The centerpiece of this chapter—and easily the most important synthesis of carbonate concepts developed since the 2001 edition—is the discussion of the CATT hypothesis, an integrated global database bringing together stratigraphy, tectonics, global climate, oceanic geochemistry, carbonate platform characteristics, and biologic evolution in a common time framework. Another new chapter concerns naturally fractured carbonates, a subject of increasing importance, given recent technological developments in 3D seismic, reservoir modeling, and reservoir production techniques.
