Sables et grès plus ou moins grossiers, calcaires fissurés plus ou moins dolomitisés sont des réservoirs typiques. Le volume intérieur, soit intergranulaire, soit matriciel, est toujours occupé à la fois par des hydrocarbures et par de l'eau. Cette eau interstitielle [...] est fossile et généralement contemporaine des hydrocarbures qu'elle accompagne, d’où son qualificatif d’eau «connée». 4, record 1, French, - eau%20conn%C3%A9e

El agua fósil puede ser también congénita si quedó atrapada al momento de formarse la roca en una época geológica antigua. Sin embargo, el agua congénita no siempre es fósil ya que puede haberse producido en sedimentos recientes. El agua fósil y el agua congénita pueden calificarse asimismo de intersticiales si quedaron retenidas en los intersticios de una roca. 5, record 1, Spanish, - agua%20cong%C3%A9nita

Minéralisations dans des shales et dolomies syngénétiques. [...] Du point de vue géochimique, ces dépôts posent [...] bien des problèmes. Y a-t-il eu : précipitation directe, donc syngénétique au sens propre, des métaux sous forme de sulfures finement dispersés, avec ou sans réduction bactérienne de sulfates, ou un processus plus compliqué se déroulant en plusieurs étapes? [...] la formation directe des sulfures à partir du soufre organique, sans réduction bactérienne(ou chimique) des sulfates, a été démontrée possible par les expériences de R. Weil [...] Dans le sédiment se trouve de la matière organique, donc du soufre, suffisant selon R. Weil, et d’autre part des sulfates concentrés dans l'«eau connée» qui, par réduction bactérienne, peuvent donner SH2. 2, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9duction%20bact%C3%A9rienne
