16. Current and Future Requirements
• New data is the key
• Reservoir and seal mineralogy at depth
• Hydrochemistry – accurate minor and trace element compositions
• Improved kinetic rate constants – asymmetry between precipitation
and dissolution
• Empirical confirmation of modelled scenarios
• Hydraulic data – porosity/permeability/relative permeability
• Modelling studies
• Improved geological frameworks
• Sequence stratigraphic interpretation for regional correlation
• 3D fluid flow
• Vertical hydraulic relationships
• Hydraulic significance of faults
• Reactive transport
• Geomechanics
