Prediction of clay minerals and grain-coatings in sandstone reservoirs utilising ancient examples and modern analogue studies

Understanding how clay minerals affect reservoir quality in sandstone reservoirs is important for improving prediction of recoverable volumes of petroleum. Grain-coating clay minerals may preserve porosity and permeability in sandstones by limiting the development of authigenic minerals such as quar...
