Abstract:
Microbes utilise and/or concentrate diverse metal cations, whose detection may become a potent tool for reconstructing microbial processes and, in particular, for establishing the genesis of ancient carbonate rocks that were produced by microbes. Such rocks, termed microbialites, consist of trapped and bound sediment and, importantly, carbonate minerals precipitated as accidental byproducts of metabolic or decay processes within biofilms. Where trace metals are predictably incorporated into microbialites, they may reflect biofilm processes and allow interpretation of preserved carbonates. Holo

Abstract:
Carbonates have become important targets for rock property research in recent years because they represent many of the major oil and gas reservoirs in the world. Some are undergoing enhanced oil recovery. Most laboratory studies to understand fluid and pressure effects on reservoir rocks have been performed on sandstones, but applying relations developed for sandstones to carbonates is problematic, at best. We measure in the laboratory nine carbonate samples from the same reservoir at seismic (3–3000 Hz) and ultrasonic [Formula: see text] frequencies. Samples are measured dry (humidified) and

This method saves at least two‐thirds of the time for preparing core samples and measuring velocities in transversely isotropic (TI) rocks. Using this method, we have measured velocity and anisotropy of many shale and reservoir rocks from oil and gas fields around the world. We present some of the data in this paper, which include seismic velocity and anisotropy in 17 brine‐saturated shale samples, 1 gas‐ and brine‐saturated coal sample, 8 brine‐saturated sands,

AbstractThe Maimecha-Kotui province in the North of Siberian platform is the largest province of ultramafic alkaline rocks in the world. The province comprises thirty-seven central-type complexes together with numerous dykes. The majority of dykes are radially disposed around the ultramafic alkaline massifs. Data are presented for dykes of the Dolbykha carbonatite complex, which comprises olivine and melilite nephelinites; nosean, calcite and cancrinite phonolites; calcite trachytes and calcite carbonatites.Some peralkaline phonolitic dykes contain carbonate-bearing globules with sizes of 1−2

Abstract:
The relationship between P-wave velocity and porosity in carbonate rocks shows a high degree of variability due to the complexity of the pore structure. This variability introduces high uncertainties to seismic inversion, amplitude variation with offset analysis, porosity estimation, and pore-pressure prediction based on velocity data. Elastic wave propagation in porous media is numerically modeled on the pore scale to investigate the effects of pore structure on P-wave velocities in carbonate rocks. We built 2D models of porous media using pore structure information and the similarity princip

Abstract:
SUMMARY Published laboratory elastic-wave velocity versus porosity data in carbonate rocks exhibit significant scatter even at a fixed mineralogy. This scatter is usually attributed to the strong variability in the rock-frame or pore-space geometry, which, in turn, is driven by the richness and complexity of diagenetic alteration in these very reactive sediments. Yet, by examining wireline data from oil-bearing high-to-medium porosity chalk deposits, we find surprisingly tight velocity–porosity trends. Moreover, these trends are continued into the low-porosity domain by data from a location th

Abstract:
Elastic shear moduli from ultrasonic measurements of carbonate rocks show an increase or decrease when saturated from the dry state with brine. The induced changes on the moduli have been attributed to several rock-fluid interaction effects, including viscous coupling, reduction in free surface energy, and dispersion caused by local flow with a subsequent effect on acoustic velocities. As many studies have recognized that acoustic velocity in carbonate rocks is dependent on pore structure, a relationship between the pore structure and observed changes must, to a certain extent, exist.

Simple Archie's relations relate average conductivity to average porosity and average saturation, and seem to work when the fluctuations of local porosity and local saturation are small. In general, carbonates are extremely inhomogeneous and Archie's relations fail—the saturation exponent n can depend on saturation itself, and n can be anomalously large or small. The resistivity of rocks with a mixture of micropores, macropores, and vugs is computed using effective medium theories.
