Abstract
Summary
In this presentation we will discuss the currently known studies in which both chlorine and bromine stable isotopes are analysed in formation waters from sedimentary basins. Although these two elements are chemically similar their isotopes show clearly different characteristics. We will discuss how the observed differences might be explained in these sedimentary basins and we will show how the use of Br isotopes in used in determining the origin of saline water in an Iranian gasfield. Further we will discuss how we will extend the research in further understanding of the processes that fractionate bromine isotopes in general and in sedimentary basins in particular.
