Flow in the Pennsylvanian Fountain formation, a sandstone aquifer that underlies the Lyons and is separated from it by an aquitard complex, was more restricted because the formation grades into less permeable dolomites and evaporites in the deep basin. Groundwater in the Fountain recharged along the Front Range and... 

Geopressured Zones. A test well in a geopressure zone was drilled some years ago in Tigre Lagoon in the coastal marshes of southern Louisiana Known as Edna Delcambre 1, this well produced at a rate of np to 10,000 barrels of water per day from a sandstone aquifer some 12,600 feet (3840 meters) below the surface. Pressure at that depth is nearly 11,000 pounds per square inch (748 atmospheres) and the temperature is 116°C. Quite an elaborate manifold system is requited to collect the gas. The water is disposed by forcing it by...

Fig. 13.11 Noble gas deduced intake temperatures versus observed emergence temperatures (Table 13.8) in wells of the Bunter sandstone aquifer in eastern England. The dashed line is an equal temperature line, that is, noble gas temperature equals observed temperature. Group A data are around this line group B reveals slightly colder paleotemperatures (8-10 °C) and group C reveals significantly colder values (3-5 °C).

Fig. 14.1 Helium concentrations as a function of aquifer depth or temperature (following Mazor and Bosch, 1992a) Bunter sandstone aquifer, eastern England (data from Andrews et al., 1984) Stripa granite, Sweden (data from Andrews et al., 1982) Blumau, Austria (data from Andrews et al., 1984) Molasse Basin, Austria (data from Andrews et al., 1981) Great Artesian Basin, Australia (data from Torgersen and Clarke, 1985).

Good correlation with local depth, as seen in Blumau, the Bunter sandstone aquifer of eastern England, the Stripa granite in Sweden (Fig. 14.1), and in other examples included in Table 14.1, or good correlation with temperature, as seen at the Molasse Basin in Austria and the Great Artesian Basin in Australia (Fig. 14.1).

Dissolution of evaporite minerals in sedimentary basins is also a common cause of salinization. This type of salinization occurs in the Ogallala Formation in the Southern High Plains, Texas, USA (Mehta et al, 2000a,b), the Dammam aquifer in Kuwait (Al-Ruwaih, 1995), the Nubian sandstone aquifer in the Sinai and Negev (Rosenthal et al., 1998), and the Great Artesian Basin in...
