Clay Minerals for Petroleum Geologists and Engineers
Abstract
These notes provide a general introduction of clays for the uninitiated, plus a review of traditional and more recent concepts for those who already know something about clays. The concept of fundamental illite particles and the phenomen of interparticle diffraction, relatively new concepts that are reshaping the manner of visualizing mixed-layer clays, are discussed in some detail. A discussion of shaly-sand log analysis, from a clay mineralogy perspective, is included. Isotope geology is discussed because of its potential for permitting a better understanding of temperatures and timing of diagenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
