Abstract
In this paper we briefly describe the lithology, temperature, and pressure of the Heber Geothermal Reservoir. This we base on the extensive data gathered in the past few years through well drilling and testing. We then describe our three dimensional, heterogeneous, single phase water flow simulator, including the equations solved and the assumptions made. We present several applications of the numerical simulator, in predicting the reservoir behavior with time. Conclusions based on analysis of simulator results are finally presented.
