During the opening and tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins, the petrophysical properties of the sediment packages can vary in response to diagenetic processes and precipitation of secondary mineral phases. Diagenesis can be strongly controlled by regional factors, such as rate of rift opening, sediment catchment area and supply, burial or exhumation events, as well as the migration of fluids promoting dissolution, cementation and mineralization fronts. In particular, fluid migration is controlled by the hydraulic behaviour of faults over time. Therefore, a better understanding of the interplay between processes governing the timing, modalities and conditions of diagenetic fluid migration within sedimentary basins is essential for improving reservoirs quality prediction for natural resource extraction and storage.
We invite multidisciplinary contributions that explore the timing, paragenesis and conditions of diagenesis and fluid flow in sedimentary basins and their effects on the petrophysical properties of rocks. We encourage contributions that cover, but are not limited to, (i) regional field-based studies of fluid flow in sedimentary basins, (ii) seismic studies linking basin-scale and field observations, (iii) geochemical and diagenetic studies aimed at constraining the type and composition of fluids, (iv) geochronological studies investigating the temporal relation between diagenesis and fluid flow.
