Abstract
Reinjection of waste brine from Olkaria Geotlieriiial Field (EPF & NE) has been proposed. Tracer, injection , reinjection and Interference tests have been undertaken to investigate the viability of this proposal for waste disposal as a mitigation to enviromental pollution through surface disposal as well as enhancing reservoir performance through extra heat recovery and reservoir pressure maintenace. The sites for the proposed reinjection wells have been selected and several wells have been drilled or identified from noli producers.
