This study presents the results of an inventarisation and interpretation of geochemical data from (deep) reservoir fluids in two important geological zones in Flanders, the Campine Basin and the Brabant Massif. Research is focused on the occurrence of critical raw materials with special focus on lithium. A key aspect is geochemical characterisation of different reservoir fluids and identification of possible enrichments in critical raw materials. Enrichments and related enrichment mechanisms are identified. In the final part of the study, presence of radio-isotopes is evaluated and general conclusions and recommendations are formulated.
