Carbonate cements are very common and abundant in clasticsequences. They profoundly influence the quality of hydrocarbonreservoirs and supply important information on palaeoenvironmentsand the chemical composition and flow patterns of fluids insedimentary basins. Despite this importance, their distributionpatterns in time and space and their geochemical evolution are notyet deeply explored and elucidated. This Special Publicationcontains 21 review papers and case studies on carbonate cementationin clastic sequences written by invited specialists on the subject.These papers present a wide and deep coverage that enhance ourknowledge about carbonate cementation in various clasticdepositional environments, tectonic settings and burial histories.The book will be of special interest to researchers, petroleumgeologists and teachers and students at the postgraduate level.
