“…Prior to 1940, heavy-mineral analysis was the most frequently employed technique in the petrological study of sands and sandstones, with heavy-mineral suites used as correlative tools and as direct indicators of the nature of sediment source areas. Little regard was paid at this stage to the pioneering work of Edelman (1931) and Edelman & Doeglas (1931, 1934 which demonstrated clearly that many detrital heavy-mineral species are not stable in the diagenetic environment. In the early 1940s, however, the stability of detrital heavy minerals in sandstones was questioned openly, with the virtually simultaneous publication of four papers of note (Bramlette, 1941;Pettijohn, 1941;Smithson, 1941;Boswell, 1942).…”

Stability of detrital heavy minerals in Tertiary sandstones from the North Sea Basin

A B S T R A C T :Intrastratal solution of detrital heavy minerals in North Sea Tertiary sandstones takes place in two different diagenetic settings, deep burial and acidic weathering. These are characterized by different orders of mineral stability: apatite, chloritoid, garnet, sphene and spinel are less stable in acidic weathering than in deep burial, whereas the reverse is true for andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite. Heavy-mineral dissolution patterns, therefore, do not follow one single order of stability but several, depending on the diagenetic environment in which the dissolution occurs. It seems from this that the relative order of stability for detrital heavy minerals is controlled by the chemistry of the interstitial waters, whereas the limits of persistence depend on pore-fluid temperature, rate of water throughput, and geological age. Because different diagenetic environments lead to differing orders of mineral stability, it may prove possible to elucidate certain aspects of the diagenetic history of a sandstone by heavy-mineral dissolution patterns.

By heavy mineral analyses it is shown that a fluviati-le fining-upwards sandy sequence from the Neogene of Denmark has been weathered from its upper surface and deep into the sediment. During the weathering amphiboles, epidotes, garnets, kyanite, staurolite and feld- 1,par have been strongly corroded, whereas zircon, rutile and tourmaline were not affected. Jn the uppermost part of the sequence authigenic anatase and outgrowths on feldspar and quartz occur. The secondary growth of feldspar occurred subsequent to corrosion and the outgrowths are not corroded.

“…Even at this early stage, warning signs concerning the instability of several detrital heavy minerals had started appearing, e.g., [22,23]. A key period in the application of heavy minerals to correlation issues was the early 1940's, with the virtually simultaneous publication of four papers that all demonstrated the extensive nature of heavy mineral dissolution in the subsurface [24][25][26][27].…”

Correlation of hydrocarbon reservoir sandstones is one of the most important economic applications for heavy mineral analysis. In this paper, we review the fundamental principles required for establishing correlation frameworks using heavy mineral data, and illustrate the applications of a wide variety of heavy mineral techniques using a number of case studies from hydrocarbon reservoirs in the North Sea and adjacent areas. The examples cover Triassic red-bed successions in the central North Sea and west of Shetland, which have been subdivided and correlated using provenance-sensitive ratio data and mineral morphologies; Middle Jurassic paralic sandstones in the northern North Sea, correlated using garnet geochemistry; Upper Jurassic deep water sandstones in the northern North Sea, discriminated using rutile geochemistry and detrital zircon age data; and the “real-time” application of the technique at well site in Devonian-Carboniferous fluvio-lacustrine sandstones of the Clair Field, west of Shetland.
