Abstract
Method for calculation of well performance change is proposed when steam gathering system is changed. The method takes into account the flow-rate changing when the wellhead pressure is changed. Also changing of pressure drop in steam gathering system is taken into account at flow-rate changing. Examples of prediction of well performance in Mutnovka geothermal power plant are presented.
