Abstract
A quasi three dimensional aerial model is applied to a real geothermal field. This paper presents history matching and predictions of the performance of a liquid dominated geothermal field,. For several heat flow rates in the upper part of the reservoir, vertically averaged pressures and temperatures are matched through the period of 1.5 to 2.5 years after the start of production. The results show that good agreement is achieved between measured and calculated values. Predictions of reservoir performance are also made under several different conditions.
