Abstract
Most of the computer simulators which calculate the flowing pressure profile and the well output characteristic for a geothermal well that the well is fed from a single feed point. However many geothermal wells have more than one zone at which fluid enters leaves the well. This paper looks at the simplest case of a saturated steam well with two feed points. Despite the simplifications of the model, the results show the trends in output Characteristicsproduced by changesin parameters such as the separation distance between the feed points, the local permeability and the magnitude of the reservoir pressure.
