Diagenetic processes and products in sedimentary basin-fills play an increasingly important role in predicting the quality of hard-to-reach hydrocarbon reservoirs, and assessing the feasibility of carbon storage sites. Therefore, the diagenetic characterisation of deeply buried reservoir targets is the subject of growing research interest. Deeply buried hydrocarbon resources, including tight sandstones, shales and carbonates, are discovered in different types of petroliferous basins and have generally experienced complicated diagenetic processes and showed ultra-low porosity and permeability. The key problem is that the formation mechanisms of these hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs may display variation in different tectonic unites and different types of petroliferous basins. Furthermore, (re)introducing carbon dioxide in carbon sequestration projects will change diagenetic reaction processes and rates and is an important participant in reservoir diagenesis, which are crucial to understanding when assessing the feasibility.

The aim of the current research topic is to focus on the characterization of diagenesis in reservoirs, as well as advance of the theory and method for reservoir study. The results of this research will provide an important guide for the exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs and carbon storage over the world.

We welcome Original Research, Review and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
· Diagenesis, origin and distribution of sandstone, carbonate and unconventional hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir;
· Assessing diagenetic processes and products in carbon storage projects;
· Advance of the theory and method for hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir study.

Keywords: Diagenesis, Hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, Reservoir quality, Reservoir origin, Reservoir evolution
