Petrographic and geochemical evidence for burial diagenetic processes: example from Devonian Swan Hills Formation (Rosevear field), Alberta, Canada

Conference · · AAPG Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5800685
The Rosevear field of the west-central Alberta subsurface is comprised of Middle to Upper Devonian platform and reef-complex deposits of the Swan Hills Formation. The reservoir is formed by massive replacement dolostones, which occur adjacent to a marine channel within the reef complex. Dolomitization resulted in biomoldic and vuggy porosity that was partially filled by, in order of decreasing age, saddle dolomite, anhydrite, bitumen, coarse-crystalline calcite, and pyrite.
