Abstract
Classical diagenesis characterization methods and conceptual models are qualitative and do not yield quantitative data to be directly used by reservoir engineers for rock-typing and geological modelling. ‘Quantitative diagenesis’ is a rising field of research on its own as it combines new developments in analytical equipment and creative workflows and techniques. If the objective of characterization of diagenetic processes is to link the processes to the resulted phases (and vice versa), here the main goal is to be able to assign numerical values for such phases.
