Abstract
The Ahuachapan geothermal field in El Salvador has been producing electrical power since 1975. The field currently produces at only about 50 percent of the installed capacity of 95MWe. The reasons for this low power production include a 1WF reservoir Presdrawdown and limited drilling of make-up wells. J: * The focus of &ssrudy is to develop means for inmasing the power production over the next 30 years. One possible option is to devise an injection scheme to &crease the pressure decline and the energy drill step-out wells to increase the size of the wellfield.
