Abstract
Obtaining the release of production wells for output testing is a problem for most operational geothermal plants. Many wells take a long time to stabilise or else they cycle. With these wells, it is to obtain reliable data especially when under time constraints. Datalogging the output tests with onsite analysis and manual backup optimises the collection of information within the limited time available. The datalogging records can allow comprehensive analysis of cycles or transients. On some wells fitted with capillary inhibitor tubing, it is possible to do productivity testing.
