Diagenetic porosity

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001052

Porosity in a sedimentary rock that has been created or modified by diagenetic processes after initial deposition. This can include secondary porosity formed by the dissolution of minerals or primary porosity enhanced or reduced by cementation and compaction. Diagenetic porosity is a key factor in determining the storage capacity of a reservoir.
