Journal ArticleDOI
Water-rock interaction in tertiary sandstones, San Joaquin basin, California, U.S.A. : diagenetic controls on water composition
J.B. Fisher,J. R. Boles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, three water types are recognized among petroleum-associated waters of the southern San Joaquin basin: (1) meteoric water; (2) diagenetically modified connate water; and (3) mixed meteoric-modified connate waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed-layer illite/smectite minerals in Tertiary sandstones and shales, San Joaquin Basin, California
Karl Ramseyer,J. R. Boles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a microprobe analysis of 16 discrete I/S clays from the southern San Joaquin basin was performed and the results indicated an average montmo- rillonite composition of: (Cao.2Ko.~sNao.03)(Si7.7Alo.3)O2o(OHL �9 n H20.35Mgo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of plagioclase albitization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that plagioclase is less stable in sea water at 25°C and at 100°C in an oil field water at 50°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagenetic Carbonate in Miocene Sandstone Reservoir, San Joaquin Basin, California
J. R. Boles,Karl Ramseyer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured and estimated pore fluids between 0.8 and 2.9 at current reservoir temperatures of 105°C, suggesting precipitation in the past 20 years during release of the gas cap and injection of isotopically light water, suggesting that the presence of the hydrocarbons and associated byproducts of kerogen maturation enhance porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Moeraki Boulders--Anatomy of Some Septarian Concretions
J. R. Boles,C. A. Landis,P. Dale +2 more
TL;DR: The Moeraki boulders as discussed by the authors are large calcite concretions with septarian veins of calcite and rare late-stage quartz and ferrous dolomite.
