Processes and Patterns of Dolomite Precipitation in Aptian Pre‐Salt Deposits of Santos Basin, Brazil

ABSTRACT The Aptian pre‐salt lacustrine carbonates represent the most significant oil exploration target along the South Atlantic margin. Dolomitization of the Santos Basin Barra Velha Formation (BVF) is critical for reservoir quality, yet its origin, patterns, and evolution rema...

Diagenetic Constraints and Impact of Silicification on the Quality of Pre‐Salt Reservoirs of the Sépia Field, Santos Basin, Brazil: Insights From Oxygen Isotopes and Fluid Inclusions

ABSTRACT The conditions and role of silicification in the giant South Atlantic pre‐salt reservoirs have been widely debated recently. Many studies link silicification with degraded reservoir quality, whereas others associate it with increased permeability. Predicting the occurren...
