| Abstract | A case study is presented of a geothermal reinjection piping network model from the power station through to the reinjection wells. Commercial piping network modelling software has been used to model the static and dynamic response of the system and options for increasing capacity. The model includes a number of reinjection well analogues for modelling well behavior, including a well with the piping/casing modelled to the loss zone. The terrain includes elevation changes and the model needed to account for cavitation and column separation. |
