Abstract
One of the major aims of a geothermal reservoir engineer, or indeed any one with interest in reservoir studies in the geothermal business, is optimization of steam production fiom the geothermal reservoirs. Optimization is an important aspect of the overall development of a geothermal reservoir with maximum heat recovery. The concept of deliverability is one way that may be used in optimizing steam production. Deliverability of geothermal reservoirs has three components, namely, wellbore, inflow and reservoir performances. In this paper, we shall learn how each of these performances can be determined and also howprediction of the future production rates of wells can be calculated.
