Summary Thoughts on SERC Research

•Research must be Fact Based

•Research must include Resource Development and Environment

• Natural geologic migration barriers important

• Monitoring & testing for control and assurance

•Research to Support a Well Defined Regulatory Structure

•Cooperation needed between ALL stakeholders

•Communication and education essential
