Extract

Sequences of alternating arenaceous and argillaceous lithologies are commonplace in the siliciclastic hydrocarbon reservoirs of the North Sea and elsewhere. Individual lithological units may vary in thickness from millimetres to tens or hundreds of metres. The first part of this introduction will discuss general aspects important for the understanding of the patterns of clay diagenesis associated with these sequences, whereas the second part will deal with the papers presented in this issue of Clay Minerals and how they fit into this general area of interest.
