Abstract
For the first 46 years of operation, the Wairakei Geothermal field was operated without any significant reinjection. Over this time 2,000 Mtonnes of reservoir fluid was extracted and the deep liquid pressures, which had declined by 25 bar from the pre-development value, had been stable since the mid-1970
