Kinetic Modeling of Quartz Cementation and Porosity Loss in Deeply Buried Sandstone Reservoirs1 Olav Walderhaug2 ABSTRACT are performed for short time steps, and quartz sur- face area is adjusted after each time step. The total A mathematically simple kinetic model simulates amount of quartz cement precipitated during a quartz cementation and the resulting porosity loss sandstone’s burial history and the corresponding in quartzose sandstones as a function of tempera- porosity loss are found by taking the sum of the ture history.

This flexibility place within this volume. After quartz cementation is illustrated by presenting calculated histories of starts, compactional porosity loss is typically minor, quartz cementation and porosity loss for sand- and porosity loss within the modeled sandstone stones with a range of grain sizes, framework grain volume is therefore considered to be equal to the compositions, degree of clay coat development, volume of precipitated quartz cement.
