Fluid inclusion microthermometric data are often reported as homogenization temperature frequency histograms. Interpretation of such histograms for a single ̄uid inclusion assemblage (FIA) of nonreequilibrated ̄uid inclusions is usually straightforward and provides an accurate determination of the original density (Th) of that FIA. However, interpretation of such histograms for reequilibrated i...

Post-entrapment modifications reduce the reliability of fluid inclusions to determine trapping conditions in rock. Processes that may modify fluid inclusion properties are experimentally identified in this study using synthetic fluid inclusions in quartz with a well-defined composition and density. Modifications are characterized with microthermometry (homogenization and dissolution temperature...

Fracture-pore complexes, located at fault zones of Darriwilian carbonates, are the main exploration targets in Shunbei area, Tarim Basin. This article focuses on carbonate characteristics Lower Ordovician Well ShunbeiPeng1 (SHBP1), is sandwiched by two trending NW-SE deep-seated, strike-slip faults Shuntuoguole uplift. Based detailed core investigation and careful petrographic examination, rese...

While the characteristics and origin of drusy calcite cement in carbonate deposits is well constrained literature, little attention paid to dolomite cement. Petrographic observations, stable isotopes, fluid-inclusion microthermometry suggest that Permo-Triassic conglomerate/breccia dolostone beds northern United Arab Emirates has precipitated as not by dolomitization The low ?18OVPDB (?9.4‰ ?6....

Abstract Fluid inclusion microthermometry of synkinematic veins is used to estimate the maximum syntectonic load that was deposited on wedge top in central Appalachians (northeastern United States) during Alleghanian orogeny. The restored loads indicate two major depocenters orogeny: one above Broadtop synclinorium, with as much 7 km Pennsylvanian–Permian probably sourced by erosion rocks uplif...

Field observations, together with the results of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and stable carbon isotope analysis bitumen, coupled fluid inclusion microthermometry analyses closely associated vug- fracture-filling columnar calcite in Upper Cretaceous Bekhme Formation, Kurdistan Region Iraq, suggest that degradation crude oil was caused by regional incursion meteoric waters.
