In an effort to evaluate mineral-water isotopic exchange during cyclic steam stimulation (CSS), solutions and <2 μm berthierine-dominated solids from the Clearwater Formation oil sands of Alberta, Canada were analyzed for stable isotope compositions before and after reaction in autoclaves for 100...
