The geology of Sierra Calderona (SE Iberian Cordillera, Spain), a review. Results of a new 1:25.000 scale geological mapping by Pedro Pablo Hernaiz-Huerta

“…A new geological mapping of Sierra Calderona (SE Iberian Cordillera) has confirmed the widespread presence of the Muschelkalk M2 unit overlying a ubiquitous Muschelkalk M1 carbonate unit. Thus, the allocation of this range in the Levantine-Balearic Triassic Domain is not justified and a previous assignment of the entire Muschelkalk carbonate succession of this region to the M3 unit is untenable. …”

A Geochemical Model of Fluids and Mineral Interactions for Deep Hydrocarbon Reservoirs by Jun Li, Raheel Ahmed, Qian Zhang, Yongfan Guo, Xiaochun Li

“…Combining this model with PHREEQC functionalities, CO2-CH4-brine-carbonate-sulfate equilibrium is calculated. From the calculations, we conclude that, for CO2-CH4-brine-carbonate systems, at deeper positions, magnesium is more likely to be dissolved in aqueous phase and calcite can be more stable than dolomite and, for CO2-CH4-brine-sulfate systems, with a presence of CH4, sulfate ions are likely to be reduced to S2− and H2S in gas phase could be released after S2− saturated in the solution. …”
