Abstract Sensitivity analyses for modeling of a hypothetical liquid dominated geothermal reservoir indicate the strong dependence on the results on the assumptions made about the steam water relative permeability curves. Of significant importance are the critical saturation points for the individual phases and the curvature of plots. The effects are more evident on calculated producing wellbore pressure and projected heat recovery.
