Dolomite: Perspectives on a 
Perplexing Mineral
Dolomite is a metastable carbonate. It forms in a variety of distinctly different settings 
and can change as conditions change. The mode of formation influences dolomite 
morphology and thus impacts exploration and production strategies. New approaches 
to carbonate evaluation are helping geoscientists unearth reservoir-quality dolomite, 
despite its heterogeneous and often enigmatic nature.
