Secondary dolomitization of Holocene calcium carbonate sediments occurs beneath the coastal sabkhas of Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. A stable isotope study of the sabhka sediments and brines indicates that the ...

In zones of focused vertical flow, hydrothermal brines produce reservoirs of restricted areal extent by dolomitization, solution of carbonates, silicification, and brecciation (Fig. 1).

Typical dolomite reservoirs exist in the upper assemblage of the Ordovician Majiagou Formation in the southeastern Sulige gas field, Ordos Basin, however, the current understanding of dolomite genesis ...

Dr. Kaczmarek is professor of geology and head of the Carbonate Petrology & Characterization Laboratory at Western Michigan University. He is a sedimentary petrologist with a research focus on ...

In the Niagaran (Silurian), we saw a general trend of increasing dolomitization shelfward, with limestone predominant in more basinward positions. One of our major findings was that these facies types ...
