Abstract
In 1981, interference tests were conducted between six wells in Beowawe Geothermal Fields, Nevada. The results of the interference tests agree with the results of individual well flow tests and indicate pressure communication between all tested wells, even though each well is completed in a different geological interval. All data indicate that the geologically complicate Beowawe system is very prolific and fed by a very large reservoir.
