Carbonate Diagenesis As a Control on Stratigraphic Traps, With Examples from the Williston Basin

TLDR: In this article, the authors address one of the problems in the Basin-porosity in many of the producing formations comes and goes rapidly, and present a model for stratigraphic traps.

Abstract: The Williston Basin contains incredible hydrocarbon-producing formations, but with its subtle structures, identifying potential reservoirs is problematic. This publication addresses one of the problems in the Basin–porosity in many of the producing formations comes and goes rapidly. Chapters addressing this include basic information on stratigraphic traps, both in general and in the Williston in specific; interpretation of carbonate lighology from logs, basic omposition of carbonate rocks; types of porosity in carbonates; major nearsurface diagenetic environments; subsurface diagenesis; dolomite and dolomitazation; and major models for stratigraphic traps.
