Abstract
Concentrations of 16 elements from 14 serpentinitic samples from Basilio an d Cantel petroleum fields were obtained by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA): Cr, Co, Ni, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ce Yb, Lu, Rb, Cs, Hf and Th. Relative INAA was performed using certified reference materials and laboratory standards. Average elemental concentrations showed that the oph iolites have a basic character, suggesting the use of a well-logging method designed fbr volcano-sedimentary petroleum fields.
