Two hydraulic tests of a Triassic sandstone aquifer were performed to determine hydraulic and geochemical parameters of the reservoir formation. Samples collected during all tests showed neutral and constant pH-value of about 7.5. During the initial step rate test, the aluminium concentration of the water remained below 0.005 mM, but it increased significantly during the production phase of the following single well push-pull test to 4.8 mM. Drill cuttings of the well, collected at reservoir depth (Exter Fm. and the overlaying Tertiary sand), were additionally characterized and used for leaching experiments. These experiments evidenced a strong release of aluminium from the Tertiary, pyrite containing sand, indicating processes of pyrite oxidation being responsible for aluminium mobilization.
