Abstract
The Cerro Prieto well M-147 is one of the strongest in Mexico, producing 550 ton/hour of mixture. In this paper a method is developed to calculate the enthalpy at the bottom of the well and it is used to predict its evolution, in order to decide about the convenience of operating the well restricted in flow. A comparison of the velocities inside this well and others that produce dry steam is also presented,.
