Abstract
We report results of steam adsorption experiments conducted for rock samples from vapordominated geothermal reservoirs. We examine the effect of the temperature on the adsorption/ desorption isotherms. We find that the temperature effect is only important on the desorption such that the hysteresis becomes more pronounced as the temperature increases. The scanning behavior within the steam sorption hysteresis loop is also studied to investigate the behavior during repressurization. Collection of sets of data on the sorption behavior of The Geysers geothermal field in California is presented.
