| Abstract | The objective of this study is to make it possible to numerically estimate the fluid pressure at well boffoweed point during discharge; from wellhead data that may be comparatively easily obtained. For that purpose, initially, measured pressure profiles are analyzed to estimate an average pipe friction factor that seems to be available for geothermal wells. Secondly, using the estjmated friction factor, presswe p-ofiles are calculated to compare with the measured ones. Finally, pressures at a feed point in Otake well 0-7 are estimated. |
