[Mechano-chemical self-organization and nonlinear dynamics in sedimentary basins]. Technical progress report
The central theme of this project is that the reaction, transport and mechanical (RTM) processes affect each other so strongly that basin diagenesis takes on a qualitatively different behavior than what would be predicted by the analysis of the individual processes separately. In Figs. 1 and 2 we see schematic basin cross-sections that emphasize a few of the diagenetic phenomena arising from the strong coupling of RTM processes. Basin diagenesis allows for a great richness of phenomena (Fig. 1) including the genesis of a (formation localized) basal seal, dynamic transbasinal top seal, fault related side seals, episodic fluid release and smaller scale compartmentation within and adjacent to the basin-scale overpressured compartment and also (Fig. 2) fingered reaction fronts and upwardly migrating petroleum and auto-localized petroleum (through petroleum-induced porosity preservation). The phenomena of Figs. 1 and 2 arise through feedback loops in the RTM process network.
