Caracteriza？？o isotópica de águas de forma？？o hipersalinas de um campo de petróleo da Bacia do Rec？ncavo, Brasil

formation water is the water present in reservoir rock pores, produced together with petroleum. usually it is hypersaline with concentrations that can be higher than 250 g/l of dissolved solids. the concentration of the dissolved elements and the isotopic composition of the water and of some of the dissolved elements can be excellent tracers to study the dynamic of underground fluid flux, the mixing of distinct sources and the origin of salinization of these waters. this work reports the isotopic composition (δ2h , δ18o ) and electrical conductivity (ec) of formation waters from 10 wells of a petroleum field of the rec？ncavo basin, looking for their evolution, interaction with the minerals and rocks and reservoir interconnection. the samples have electric conductivity ranging from 84 to 137 ms/cm, with conductivity increasing with depth of production zone. it is observed an enrichment of deuterium and oxygen-18 with the depth of production zone, probably due to water-rock interactions that were probably increased by higher temperatures of the deeper levels and longer residence times. the samples from the production zone between 1450 to 1520 m, drained by 7 of the 10 wells sampled, show a small range in isotopic composition and in electric conductivity, indicating homogeneity in this level of the reservoir. in the shallow level of 450 m the values of δ2h , δ18o and ec are lower, with isotopic composition similar to the oceanic water, possibly representing the original water that entered the reservoir during the sedimentation of the basin.
