==Using burial history to predict porosity==

Reconstructing burial history aids sandstone porosity prediction. Aburial history diagram integrates tectonic and hydrologic history with diagenetic evolution to predict sandstone porosity. The table below outlines steps for predicting porosity from burial history and is illustrated in [[:file:predicting-reservoir-system-quality-and-performance_fig9-58.png|Figure 5]].

# Construct a burial history diagram for the formation of interest in the prospect area.

# Plot the tectonic history of the basin in the prospect area along the lower x-axis.

# Plot the hydrologic history of the prospect area along the lower x-axis. Use the tectonic history to infer the hydrologic history of the prospect.

# Plot the porosity curve by combining concepts of diagenetic processes with burial and hydrologic histories of the prospect.
