Abstract
Since the initial drilling in 1959 within the Beowawe Geothermal Field in north central Nevada, a total of sixteen wells have been drilled. Numerous flow tests, build ups, interference tests and injectivity tests have been conducted on eight of these wells. All data indicate that the geologically complicated Beowawe system is charge from a deep carbonate reservoir. The wells exhibit high productivities from a very large reservoir.
