| Abstract | After flash discharge tests with longest duration of 42 days, HGP-A appears to be capable of producing two phase fluid over a range of wellhead pressures from 50 to 237 psig where the steam quality varies from 64% to 52%. The Kapoho Geothermal Reservoir appears to be a liquid dominated formation with temperature measured as high as 358°C. The formation seems to be tight with possible severe and damage in the well. The fluid produced is surprisingly clean containing about 5% ocean water but with fairly high silica content. |
