Abstract
As part of the Desert Peak EGS project, tracer testing was conducted involving two existing injection wells at the Desert Peak geothermal field. The tracer data showed very strong returns from both injectors to one of the production wells, with much lower returns to the remaining producers. The tracer-swept pore volume was estimated using a first-moment analysis of the return-curve data.
