| Abstract | A pressure-buildup test which was run on a well located in the zone (north of the old Larderello field] shows a pressure plateau which may be due to condensation in the reservoir. Analysis of this test makes use of the model proposed by Moench (1978) which assumes that steam vaporizes 'from thin, highly-permeable, porous fissures that surround blocks of impermeable rock. Heat is transferred from the blocks to the fissures by conduction. |
