Abstract
The present reinjection of heat depleted brine is still hampered by numerous problems. No refined and readily useable technology for reinjection exists. DOE/DGE has undertaken major efforts to solve the reinjection problems. Studies are under way to define and solve the main problems. In this paper, we describe the major reinjection problems and some of the work suggested to find solutions.
