Abstract
Deliverability of a geothermal field is divided in to
wellbore performance, inflow performance and reservoir
performance. Wellbore performance curves for in the
Svartsengi geothermal field in Iceland were estimated at
different wellhead pressures using a two-phase flow wellbore
simulator . Inflow performance curves were estimated using
linear, turbulent and two-phase equations and compared with
data for in the Cerro Prieto qeothermal field in Mexico .
Reservoir performance of the Svartsengi field was calculated
using Hurst radial water influx models . The three
performances were linked in a sample calculation to determine
the deliverability typical for the Svartsengi field.
