OSTI ID:5701377

The lithological characteristics of Mesozoic sand-siltstones of the Western Precaucasus are examined. The zonal nature of the distribution of authigenic minerals and reservoir properties in the sand-silt layers is described, along with the dependence of the zonality on layer thickness. The secondary nature of the pore space in terrigenous rocks and possible means of its formation are determined.
