The Riagqu geothermal field is a single-phase. liquid-dominated svst-eiii at reservoir. condi-tions. having a high gas content. T l i is field is located at an elevation of about 4.500 iii (asl), in the vicinity of the City oÄ Nagqii I which is one of the most iniportant c i t i e s of Tibet. The resei:voir rock is made of a highl>- fractured. low-perineahili t y sedimentary sequence, During t.he iinpleinenratiriii of the study descrihed i i i this paper, fluid pi.oductivn w a s inainl?- otitained froiii two out of foul possible productive wel.15.
