Abstract
Equations describing water-steam counterflow in geothermal reservoirs are reduced to a quadratic equation for either pressure gradient or water relative permeability. Based on the analytical solution of this equation 3 necessary conditions for the existence of two-phase counterflows are obtained and the effects of varying reservoir permeability are investigated. Some numerical exploration of the effects of varying net mass flux is undertaken.
