Abstract

The rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY) distribution data with depth in the Bazhenov formation are given for the case of the one well in the Nizhnevartovsk arch of the Western Siberia, Russian Federation. According to the correlation analysis, it was found that REY (mainly LREE) is concentrated in apatite more than in clays or plagioclase, while HREE is preferably accumulated in clay minerals. It was estimated that the water extracts from the Bazhenov formation contain REY up to 0.014 ppb, while LREE is contained in 3.6 times more than HREE. An attempt to estimate the REY content in the pore water of the Bazhenov formation was made using water extract composition data.
