| Abstract | The first tracer test of an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) in Australia was conducted in December 2008 and January 2009. The test involved circulating fluid between an injection well, Habanero #1, and a production well, Habanero #3, for about 66.5 days through a closed-loop system in order to characterize the connection between the wells and to estimate the tracer-swept volume of the reservoir. Two tracers were used: Uranine and 1,3,5-napthalene trisulfonate. |
