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

Abstract Abiotic, Bioinduced and Biocontrolled carbonates are process-based sediment
categories. They successively reflect increasing levels of biotic control over carbonate …

The lacustrine carbonate rocks of the giant Pre-salt oil-fields in the Santos and Campos
Basins differ in a number of important aspects from classic lake deposits. Prior work has …

This study integrates well log data, routine core analyses, microcomputed X-ray tomography
(μ CT) images, and sedimentary petrography to accurately characterize and evaluate the …

Lacustrine carbonate deposits mark the rift-sag sedimentation stage of the so-called pre-salt
section of the Campos and Santos Basins, in the Southeast Brazilian continental shelf …

The study of hydrothermal travertines contributes to the understanding of the interaction
between physico‐chemical processes and microbial mats in carbonate precipitation. Three …

Travertines are continental carbonate rocks formed from hot spring waters rich in calcium
and bicarbonate. The stable carbon and oxygen isotope signature for these rocks is well …

Studying travertine deposits and the network of banded calcite veins that form their roots in
the substratum can place important constraints on neotectonic activity and the …

Travertine-depositing hot springs can generate various carbonate minerals with or without
the participation of microorganisms. They thus serve as good natural laboratories to study …

Abstract The Santos Basin in offshore Brazil belongs to the major carbonate reservoir
province known informally as the Pre-Salt. A detailed analysis of cores, plugs, sidewall …
