| Abstract | The paper presents results of modelling the natural state of the Mutnovsky geothermal reservoir. TOUGH2-simulator developed in National Laurence Berkeley Laboratory, USA is used for modelling. The work was carried out in the context of the United Nations University Geothermal Training Programme 2003. The conceptual model of the Mutnovsky geothermal reservoir resulted from previous studies is put into base of the work together with well test data. The aim of the work was to verify the conceptual model and to create the base for simulation of production response of the reservoir. The main points of the conceptual model-location of heat sources, flow pattern, location of boiling zone-are confirmed by presented results. |
