Synopsis

This unparelleled reference synthesizes the methods used in microfacies analysis and details the potential of microfacies in evaluating depositional environments and diagenetic history, and, in particular, the application of microfacies data in the study of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs and the provenance of archaeological materials. The first part of the book introduces microfacies analysis; the second part treats interpretation of the microfacial data; and the third part explores the practical use of microfacies. This last part emphasizes the facies controls of reservoir and host rocks, the importance of microfacies and diagenesis for understanding technological properties of carbonate rocks and the destruction and conservation of carbonate objects, and discusses the potential of microfacies for archaeometrical studies. Nearly 230 instructive plates (30 in color)showing thin-section photographs with detailed explanations form a central part of the content.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Review of the 1st edition: My general conclusion is: Flügel achieved a momentous job in newly summarising the huge volume of dispersed data of one type of geological phenomena as preserved in our billion-year (well, approximately!) old stratigraphic record as evidenced alone by many of the author s theoretical and practical comparative diagrams and tables. Dear reader, don t be without this reference handbook, or mini-encyclopaedia! Every geological or Earth science company, college or university and research institute library ought to have a copy. --Karl Wolf, The Australian Geologist, Newsletter, No. 135, p.45-46, June 30, 2005

Review of the 1st edition: "Written for upper level undergraduates and graduates and can also be used in research, exploration and production of hydrocarbons and ores. ... An appendix presents answers to exercises distributed throughout the text. ... It is clear that this work is the result of lifelong research ... . new aspects have been added, and up-to-date references and personal communications are used. ... A remarkable feature of the book is the abundance of excellent quality illustrations and the lengthy and detailed plate captions." --(T. J .A. Reijers, Journal of Sedimentary Research, February, 2005)

Review of the 1st edition: "Microfacies is regarded as the total of all sedimentological and paleontological data ... . Excellently edited, with 330 figures and 151 plates of the highest quality ... the book will be a precious item in a geologist s collection. ... The book is clearly structured and presented. ... The book will be invaluable for geologists and geophysicists, both academic and those working in geologic prospection and industry. The wealth of figures is a good basis from which academic teachers can prepare their lectures for graduate students." --(Marek Lewandowski, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 163, 2006)

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book provides a synthesis of the methods used in microfacies analysis, the potential of microfacies in evaluating depositional environments and diagenetic history, and the application of microfacies data in the study of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs and the provenance of archaeological materials. The first part of the book (Microfacies Analysis) deals with field and laboratory methods; the description and significance of microfacies data; quantitative microfacies analysis; diagenetic processes and diagenetic products; common textural limestone classifications and specific classifications for reef limestones, non-marine carbonates, recrystallized limestones and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic rocks; biological controls of carbonate sedimentation; and fossils in thin section. The second part (Microfacies Interpretation) is focused on the methods of making of microfacies types; diagonsotic criteria of palaeoenvironmental conditons and processes; the importance of integrated facies analysis including mineralogical and geochemical data; the definition of depositional facies models, facies zones and standard microfacies types, and the recognition of depositional constraints influencing cyclic carbonates, reef limestones, cold-water carbonates, vent and seep carbonates and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic rocks. The last chapter deals with secular variations of facies features. The third part of the book (Practical Use of Microfacies) underlines the facies controls of reservoir and host rocks, the importance of microfacies and diagenesis for understanding technological properties of carbonate rocks and the destruction and conservation of carbonate objects, and discusses the potential of microfacies for archaeometrical studies. Nearly 230 instructive plates (30 in color)showing thin-section photographs with detailed explanations form a central part of the content.
