| Abstract | A computer code has been developed, which uses an analytical solution for the pressure distribution to calculate fluid flow patterns within an arbitrary array of geothermal production and injection wells. The approximate location of the thermal front due to reinjection is also calculated. The code has been used to evaluate well use at the Magma-SDG&E geothermal site in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field. |
