Aptian carbonate rocks of Santos Basin in the Brazilian southeastern continental margin
show a highly heterogeneous reservoir quality conditioned by many controlling factors. This …

The formation of carbonate spherulites, recognized as part of the South-Atlantic Pre-Salt
reservoir rocks, remains enigmatic. Well-chosen analogues provide insights into …

Abstract The Yacoraite Formation (Cretaceous–Paleogene) is a mixed carbonate–
siliciclastic microbialite-bearing lacustrine succession deposited in the intra-continental …

Mineralogy and texture of diagenetic phases in the Aptian Pre‐Salt Barra Velha Formation
are described, quantified and compared by facies and structural setting to understand their …

Lake Magadi, East African Rift Valley, is a hyperalkaline and saline soda lake highly
enriched in Na+, K+, CO32–, Cl–, HCO3–, and SiO2 and depleted in Ca2+ and Mg2+ …

The characterization of Mg-clays in rock samples (well P1) from the Barra Velha Formation
(Early Cretaceous) allowed the establishment of mineral assemblages on the basis of their …

The phosphorus raw material is in crisis, and the demand for P-fertilizer production is
increasing, therefore different sources are sought. The trace concentration of phosphorus in …

Ancient and recent terrestrial carbonate-precipitating systems are characterised by a
heterogeneous array of deposits volumetrically dominated by calcite. In these environments …

Alkaline carbonate-rich systems may, under some circumstances, result in significant
accumulation of aqueous phosphorus. Additionally, the geochemistry of modern alkaline …

Lakes are sensitive to climate change and their sediments play a pivotal role as
environmental recorders. The oxygen and carbon isotope composition (δ18O and δ13C) of …
