    In the state of São Paulo (Brazil), occurrences of tar sandstone are known in Botucatu, Angatuba, Pirambóia, Anhembi and Bofete municipalities. In the present work a sample of white tar sandstone was taken from Anhembi municipality, located at Km 168 of the Castelo Branco Highway. In the petroleum area, sandstones act as excellent hydrocarbon reservoirs, since they have specific characteristics, such as: high porosity and permeability. Porosity is a property of rocks, and it may be understood as the voids contained in the matrix (where fluids remain stored), while permeability is the ability of the rock to transmit these stored fluids. Due to these characteristics of sandstones, researchers have shown a growing interest in the study and characterization of this type of rock, which is a fundamental element of an oil system. In the present work, four characterization techniques were used in the Anhembi tar sandstone sample, namely: X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the third generation Industrial Computerized Tomography. Through these techniques, the chemical composition, grain morphology, crystalline structure phases and an image of a slice of the internal structure of the white tar sandstone sample were obtained.

    Performance of the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the industrial computed tomography used for characterization of the vesicular volcanic rock
    2021 - SANTOS, R.S.; CAVALLARO, F.A.; BERNARDES, T.L.S.; AMADEU, R.A.; GARCIA, R.H.L.; VELO, A.F.; MESQUITA, C.H.; HAMADA, M.M.
    Volcanic rock is a designation in geology given to extrusive igneous rocks. One type of igneous rock of interest, in economic terms, is vesicular, since, besides the knowledge of the morphology (positioning, size, direction, and interconnectivity of the vesicles) of these structures within the spill, there is also an economic interest regarding the possibility of this rock as a reservoir of fluids (water and hydrocarbons). In this work, samples of vesicular volcanic rock from the Paraná Basin were studied for their characterization, aiming to contribute to the knowledge of this rock proprieties as a reservoir of fluids. The elements present inside the rocks were identified and quantified by X ray fluorescence and X ray diffraction. The dimensions of the vesicles and the interconnection between them could be clearly observed in the reconstructed images of the rocks measured by the third generation Gamma ray industrial tomography technique

    Chemical and physical analysis of sandstone rock from Botucatu Formation
    2021 - CORREA, J.C.; CAVALLARO, F.A.; GARCIA, R.H.L.; SANTOS, R.S.; AMADEU, R.A.; BERNARDES, T.L.C.; VELO, A.F.; MESQUITA, C.H.; HAMADA, M.M.
    The productive capacity of the Guarani aquifer System is subject to variations along its length, due to its complex structural and compositional heterogeneity. Several parameters may influence the quality of this reservoir rock, such as its mineralogical and textural constitution, as well as the physicochemical processes, since its diagenesis is not the same throughout the aquifer, influencing the water productivity in wells in different locations. Such parameters are useful in the geoscience studies for the elaboration of diagenetic models for the prediction of the reservoir quality. In this work, several properties of the sandstone rock from Botucatu Formation were determined using different techniques, such as geotechnical tests, optical microscopy (MO), electron scanning microscopy (SEM), X-ray Fluorescence and X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the studied sandstones have characteristics of the reservoir rocks, with potential for water storage.

    Petrological study of the Iraty Formation Shale Rocks from Paraná Basin, Limeira, São Paulo
    2021 - BERNARDES, T.L.S.; AMADEU, R.A.; SANTOS, R.S.; GARCIA, R.H.L.; VELO, A.F.; CAVALLARO, F.A.; MESQUITA, C.H.; HAMADA, M.M.
    Shales are fine-grained rocks formed by clays and silt-sized particles in thin, relatively impermeable layers. They are originated from rocks that suffered weathering and erosion and their composition is quite variable. When oil production declines, interest arises to improve the understanding of the physicochemical properties of unconventional rocks, like shale. For the characterization of the shale samples of the Iraty Formation, the gamma-ray computed industrial tomography technique has been proposed to be used as an alternative to obtaining information about each element present in the mineral, the pore distribution, through the shale morphology. The tomographic results were compared with those obtained by conventional methodologies used in the petrological analysis, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray fluorescence, and x-ray diffraction.
