Abstract
The isotopic (H, O, Sr) and chemical compositions of formation waters associated with oil fields at 900-3,100 m depth from the Tertiary Maha kam delta show a strong meteoric influence. These waters at 70-110-deg rees-C did not reach chemical and isotopic equilibrium with the host r ocks. The chemical and isotopic compositions of formation waters from Bekapai field, in contrast to those at Handil and Tambora, show eviden ce for more important water-rock interaction and a non-negligible cont ribution of sea water. The system is currently being flushed by latera l flow of meteoric waters from the continent towards the sea.
