| Abstract | The lip-pressure method is the most convenient means of measuring the flow where H is defined in the Appendix of many geothermal wells. The technique and shod in figure A I . Equation (3) is used is empirical and is based upon simply a reformulation of Eq.(2), and measurements made on wells with low permits the evaluation of the gas content of noncondensible gas or correction in one step. dissolved solids. A correction was suggested by James (1970) for gas,content. NOTE Recent results from wells of high gas content show that this correction kst be revised. A theoretical derivation from Fauske's critical flow model partly supports the revision. |
