Diagenesis

Diagenesis is a geological process comprising the physical, chemical, and biological changes that sediments undergo after deposition and during burial, excluding metamorphism, which collectively modify porosity, mineralogy, and rock fabric within sedimentary basins, source rock reservoirs, and shale gas systems.
