Processes controlling porosity and permeability in volcanic reservoirs from the Austral and Neuquén basins, Argentina
Volcanic rocks develop primary and secondary porosity and permeability, depending on both their lithology and the sequence of processes involved in their formation. Primary processes (welding, deuteric crystal dissolution, gas release, flow fragmentation, and crystal shattering) may lead to high por...
