Abstract
Owing to their importance in estimating the quantity and recoverability of petroleum, numerous algorithms have been developed to predict sandstone porosity and permeability in sedimentary basins. Among these, geochemical based diagenesis models are commonly limited by an inadequate understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic properties required in the model. To overcome this limitation, a geochemical based sandstone diagenesis model is developed and used together with available experimentally measured thermodynamic and kinetic parameters to acquire field based interfacial surface areas, quartz precipitation rate constants, and illite stability constants. The resulting parameters permit accurate porosity and permeability predictions.
