Abstract: The natural process of compaction serves as the main diagenesis process which results in reduced porosity and formation of pore systems and improved mechanical properties of sedimentary basins. The process has been identified but scientists have not yet found the particular textural features which control natural geological environment compaction efficiency. The research explores how the compaction characteristics of loose sandy sediments get controlled through the particle size distribution (PSD) and sorting characteristics which develop during their deposition process. The researchers performed standard......
