Abstract
A three dimensional model of the vapor dominated Kamojang Geothermal Field has been constructed. The model has been refined and calibrated by matching the natural, pre exploitation state of the reservoir and by reproducing reservoir pressure declines observed in individual production wells during the first seven years of exploitation. Uncertainties in the simulation results due to the choice of the initial vapor saturation, boundary conditions and model thickness have been addressed and quantified.
