Conceptual diagenetic models for cementation in Rotliegend sandstones

Porosity and permeability determine to a large extent the reservoir quality and the success of gas production. The growth of cements (= diagenetic minerals) can lead to severe reservoir quality reduction locally. This study is aimed at the understanding of processes that influence cement diagenesis in relation to porosity and permeability loss in the Upper Rotliegend sandstones.
