Does oil emplacement stop diagenesis and quartz cementation in deeply buried sandstone reservoirs

Reservoir quality relates to the presence of porosity and the connectivity of the pores of the reservoir rock which controls permeability. Deeply buried sandstones in sedimentary basins lose their reservoir quality due to compaction and cementation. Quartz cement is the most volumetrically important...
