Abstract
A detailed three dimensional well by well model of the East Olkaria geothermal field in Kenya has been developed. The model matches reasonably well the flow rate and enthalpy data from all wells, as well as the overall pressure decline in the reservoir. The model is used to predict the generating capacity of the field, well decline, enthalpy behavior, the number of makeup wells needed and the effects of injection of well performance and overall reservoir depletion.
