===Calcium carbonate cementation and compaction===

Calcium carbonate cementation and compaction are diagenetic processes that are initiated soon after deposition and by which intergranular pore space is progressively reduced producing systematic changes in petrophysical properties (see [[Evaluating diagenetically complex reservoirs]] and [[Reservoir quality]]). Compaction is a physical/chemical process, while cementation requires fluid flow. Microporosity within grains or between lime mud particles may be retained even though intergranular pore space is lost.
