Diagenesis alterations in sedimentary basins: fluid-rock interaction and modification of rock properties
Convener: Vinyet Baqués | Co-conveners: Mar MoragasECSECS, David Gomez, David Parcerisa
Understanding processes that change the properties of rocks are of economic and environmental importance, especially in projects focused on Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), geothermal energy or critical mineral resources. Diagenesis is well known as a mechanism which modifies the properties of carbonate and clastic rocks and forms new minerals. However, more needs to be done to better understand how diverse fluids modified (and modify) different host rocks and how their petrophysical properties vary through time.

We invite communications focused on multidisciplinary approaches ranging from micro- to regional- scale studies in any geodynamic setting (extensional, compressional, salt-related basins…) to contribute to this session. Presentations focused on the role of diagenetic processes in energy transition projects are very welcome. Early Career Scientists are encouraged to participate, including half-bake ideas to promote discussion. Our aim is to provide an in-person live discussion about the-state-of-the-art of diagenetic processes studies and to identify promising paths for new research on that topic.
