| Abstract | The practice of manual reservoir data collection is much debated and criticized because it is time consuming and expensive. Automation and real time data transmission from the Menengai Geothermal field will create a strong economic value for Geothermal Development Company. This paper will present the result of an integrated system that utilizes fiber optic technology and radio systems to provide real time reservoir data, to reservoir engineers and technicians in the comfort of their office both in Nakuru and Nairobi offices. It will allow reservoir engineers to carry out any reservoir design within a short period depending on the output of the wells. |
