Fig. 11. Type-1 aqueous fluid inclusions (AFI) in the salts of Weymouth-A45 well. Petroleum (PFI) or mixed petroleum–aqueous (MFI) also exist with the AFI in some samples: (1) one-phase, rectangular-shape AFI of primary origin; (2) AFI and PFI together; (3) one-phase, lens-shape AFI; (4) one

Fig. 13. Type-3 mixed fluid inclusions (MFI) in the salts of Weymouth-A45 well containing two phases (1–3), three phases (3–5), and four phases (6, 7).
