| Abstract | The lack of chemical similarity between thermal fluids in geothermal and petroleum reservoirs in Mexico indicates a distinct origin for arsenic (As) in both systems. Deep fluids from geothermal reservoirs along the Transmexican volcanic belt are characterized by elevated As concentrations, within an average range of 1 to 100 mg/l at a depth from 600 to 3000mb.s.l. The lack of correlation between As and salinity reflects the importance of secondary water-rock interaction processes. The predominance of As compared to Fe and Cu concentrations, and the abundance of secondary minerals in temperature-dependent hydrothermal zones, support this hypothesis. Oilfield waters from sedimentary basins in SE-Mexico show maximum As concentrations of 2 mg/l, at a |
