《Reservoir Diagenesis and Quality Prediction》推荐：This course has been compiled by the lithology and fluid prediction to document the current understanding of diagenesis and the way it affects reservoir quality. It summarizes the results of in-house research, external work and information from scientific publications.

Our aim is to make what is known about diagenesis and reservoir quality prediction easi- ly accessible to you and to help you apply this information during exploration appraisal and production. Thus, a straightforward and jargon-free style has been adopted and necessary. Specialist terms are explained in the glossary at the end of this overview.

《Reservoir Diagenesis and Quality Prediction》内容介绍：This book is meant to serve as a textbook for university students, aiming at the scientific un- derstanding of diagenesis and reservoir quality prediction, which mainly covers the majors of petro- leum exploration and petroleum engineering. We thank many postgraduate students, such as Dan Liu, Qian Li, Peijun Li, Rui Guo, Mingzhu Lei and Ao Su, for their drawing all the figures in the textbook. China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) provides the funding for the publication of this book.
