The diagenetic histories of both formations are thus discussed together, and can be divided broadly into four successive stages: 1. Soil processes and other results of very shallow burial. 2. Loss of porosity, due primarily to progressive silica cementation during burial. f Diagenetie effects on Brent reservoirs 383 3.

It is concluded that silicification of hydrated aluminum oxides was an important mechanism of kaolinite formation in ancient sediments and that free alumina com-pounds persist only as a result of the unusual volume xpansion associated with kaolinite formation.

Specifically, kaolinite is found only in the four opal-CT samples from TK and the three opal-A/CT samples from SI that show incipient conversion of opal-A to opal-CT, and it is not present in samples with only opal-A. This association of kaolinite with opal-CT may indicate acceleration of diagenesis by acidic alteration events (Lynne et al., 2007).

The detailed petrographic analysis and petrological interpretation of the reservoir (both are beyond the scope of this present article) suggest a diagenetic history divided into 4 stages: (1) The marine eodiagenesis, (2) The meteoric eodiagenesis, (3) The compactional mesodiagenesis, and (4) The thermobaric mesodiagenesis.

These results are interpreted as resulting from a double reaction taking place in the solid state with burial. Some kaolinite domains grow in size and crystal order while other domains are transformed into dickite. Presumably, also the dickite domains formed early in the transformation grow in crystal order.
