Friedman, G M

The purpose was to investigate deep burial diagenesis in carbonate rocks with emphasis on the evolution of rock textures, mineralogy, and porosity with depth. Specific investigative problems included the differential behavior of dolostones and limestones under deep burial, the role of fracture in porosity formation at depth, the relationship of experimentally induced rock compaction textures versus those in a geological situation, and the persistence of porosity under deep burial conditions. Samples for study were obtained from wells in the Anadarko Basin, and the Delaware Basin, extending to depths of 30,000 feet. Sequential samples of both dolostones and limestones were selected downhole in order to study diagenetic changes with depth. Experimental compaction tests aided in extending and duplicating information gained from geological situations.
