Stress Sensitivity of Carbonate Rocks : Table 1

Table 1: Mechanisms and controls of pressure-solution/recrystallization reactions in carbonate rocks [20].

Porosity (permeability)
low porosity	high porosity
transport control	surface area
	low	high
	rate of dissolution control; stress concentration is an important predictor	rate of dissolution and crystal growth, about equal magnitude
		inhibition is important; low super-saturation
		(high silicates content cause inhibition)
