| Abstract | In the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, the petroleum industry handles two geochemically distinctive brines that are traceable in the environment: formation brines extracted along with hydrocarbons from the basin, and salt-dissolution brines, produced by dissolving deep halite formations to create caverns for petroleum product storage. The concentrations of the conservative ions chloride (Cl) and bromide (Br) in many formation brines plot closely to the seawater evaporation trajectory of previous studies. These brines contain Cl/Br mass ratios of around 300, while salt-dissolution brines are relatively Br depleted, having Cl/Br mass ratios in excess of 20,000. An oilfield site in central Alberta had experienced nearby releases of both salt-dissolution and formation brines. Geochemical mixing trends were defined by theoretically mixing samples of local salt-dissolution and formation brine sources with background shallow groundwater. Most site monitoring wells and local surface water samples plotted directly on a salt-dissolution brine dilution trend, while results from four monitoring wells, all located directly downgradient of formation brine spills, suggested the mixing of formation brines into shallow groundwater. This work indicates that there is a large-scale salt-dissolution brine plume beneath the site and reinforces the use of Cl and Br concentrations and mass ratios as environmental tracers.Sur le bassin sédimentaire de l’Ouest canadien, l’industrie pétrolière manipule deux solutions salines géochimiquement distinctes, qui sont traçables dans l’environnement: les saumures de formation extraites conjointement aux hydrocarbures du bassin, et les solutions salines de dissolution de sel qui sont issues de la dissolution des formations d’halite dans le but de créer des cavités de stockage des produits pétroliers. Dans plusieures solutions salines de formations, les concentrations des ions conservatifs de chlorure (Cl) et bromure (Br) sont étroitement corrélees à la trajectoire d’évaporation d’eau de mer tracée lors détudes antérieures. Ces solutions salines contiennent des rapports massiques Cl$^{−}$/Br$^{−}$ proches de 300, tandis que les solutions salines de dissolution sont appauvries en Br, avec des rapports massiques de plus que 20,000. Ces deux types de solutions salines, de formation et de dissolution, ont été déversées à proximité d’un champ pétrolifère au centre de l’Alberta. Les trajectoires de mélange ont été calculées de manière théorique à partir d’échantillons de solutions salines locales de dissolution et de formation locales, mélangés à l’eau souterraine peu profonde. La plupart des échantillons prélevés dans les piézomètres et les eaux de surfaces suivent la trajectoire de dilution des solutions salines de dissolution, tandis que les résultats de quatre piézomètres situés enaval des déversements de solutions salines de formation suggère leurs mélange avec de-l’eau souterraines peu profonde. Ce travail indique la présence à grande échelle d’un panache de solution saline de dissolution sous le site, et étaye l’utilisation des concentrations en Cl et Br et leurs rapports massiques comme traceurs environnementaux.En la Cuenca Sedimentaria Occidental Canadiense, la industria de petróleo maneja dos salmueras geoquímicamente distintas que son identificables en el ambiente: las salmueras de formación, extraídas junto con los hidrocarburos de la cuenca, y salmueras por disolución salina, producidas al disolver las formaciones profundas de halita, para crear cavernas para el almacenamiento de productos del petróleo. Las concentraciones de iones conservadores cloruro (Cl) y bromuro (Br) en muchas salmueras de formación, caen en la gráfica estrechamente en la trayectoria de evaporación del agua de mar de estudios anteriores. Estas salmueras contienen proporciones de masa Cl/Br alrededor de 300, mientras las salmueras por disolución salina son relativamente carentes de Br, haciendo proporciones de masa Cl/Br mayores de 20,000. Un sitio en un campo petrolífero en Alberta central había experimentado vertimientos cercanos tanto de salmueras por disolución salina, como de salmueras de formación. Las tendencias de mezcla geoquímica fueron definidas por medio de muestras teóricamente mezcladas, tanto de fuentes de salmueras de disolución salina local, como también de fuentes de salmuera de formación, con agua subterránea poco profunda de los alrededores. La mayoría de las muestras de los pozos de monitoreo en este sitio, lo mismo que del agua superficial local, al ser graficadas quedaron directamente en una tendencia de dilución de salmuera de disolución salina, mientras que los resultados obtenidos de cuatro pozos de monitoreo, todos localizados directamente gradiente abajo de derrames de salmuera de formación, sugieren la mezcla de salmueras de formación dentro del agua subterránea poco profunda. Este trabajo indica, que hay una pluma de salmuera de disolución salina, de gran tamaño, bajo el sitio y confirma el uso de las concentraciones de Cl y de Br y de sus proporciones de masa como trazadores medioambientales. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
