this paper presents the new geochemical isotopes sr and nd, and the mineralization data for the south neyshabour volcanic rocks located in ne iran. based on the chemical classifications, the studied rocks are basaltic trachy andesite, trachy andesite, trachyte, and trachy dacite in composition. all the analyzed volcanic rocks display enrichment in light rare earth elements (lree) relative to th...

Wettability alteration is an important method for increasing oil recovery from oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. Chemical agents like surfactants are known as wettability modifiers in carbonate systems. Oil can be recovered from initially oil-wet carbonate reservoirs by wettability alteration from oil-wet to water-wet condition with adding dilute surfactant and electrolyte solutions. This paper inv...

recovery factor is an important parameter in determining commercial viability of the oil reservoirs. wettability is a major factor that affects oil recovery. therefore, changing rock wettability may enhance oil recovery. in this paper, the effect of polysilicon nanoparticles on wettability change of iranian carbonate reservoir is investigated. to assess this, hydrophilic changes of carbonate ro...

The Middle Mississippian Delle phosphatic event marks a significant change in depositional conditions in the Devonian–Mississippian Antler foreland basin of North America. Stratigraphic and petrographic studies show that deposition of Delle-event rocks ended a long period of open-marine carbonate sedimentation when facies shifted to phosphorites, cherts, fine-grained siliciclastics, and lime mu...

Alteration of ultramafic rocks plays a major role in the production of hydrocarbons and organic compounds via abiotic processes on Earth and beyond and contributes to the redistribution of C between solid and fluid reservoirs over geological cycles. Abiotic methanogenesis in ultramafic rocks is well documented at shallow conditions, whereas natural evidence at greater depths is scarce. Here we ...
