Chlorite is recognized as a key mineral for preserving reservoir quality in deeply buried sandstones, as chlorite coatings inhibit the nucleation of quartz overgrowths. A limited understanding of the mechanisms and conditions under which these authig... Read More about Experimental study of chlorite authigenesis and influence on porosity maintenance in sandstones.
