ABSTRACT: Comparison of Selected Oil-Field Brines from Fields in the Permian Basin, West Texas-Southeast New Mexico

WHITE, HUGH G., III,

Stiff diagrams of oil-field brines from the west Texas Permian basin are identifiable within the geological framework. Plotted from a simple analysis of three cations and three anions, older Paleozoic waters can be categorized as either "pristine" Gr modified, usually by a later influx of Permian or early Pennsylvanian water. These different plots can be segregated by geologic province. The Permian brines differ by age and also by environment (shelf, basin, etc.).
