Dear Colleagues:

 

Recently, we found some technical difficulties to measure carbonic species concentration in geothermal waters. Therefore, we proposed a revised analytical method. As we know that the values of carbonic species concentration are prerequisite for isotopic modeling of carbonic species in natural aquatic systems.

We wish to extend the application of this method for petroleum waters. Therefore, we need your help to get well characterized (major chemical analysis including HCO3 and CO3) petroleum waters. We need 50-100 ml of water sample. Thanks in advance for any support, suggestion and help.

 

If you are interested in reading these articles, please send me an email.

 

Best wishes
