Abstract
The well data three wells, H-3, H-9 and H-37 of the geothermal field Los Humeros Mexico were investigated to get a base for an assumption for the sustainability of the production. The radius of the cone of depression from each well was calculated and heat in place was determined from this geometrical space. The productivity index and the extracted energy in the fluids were estimated. The highest radius was found with 621 m in H-9. The PI is very similar for those wells which are in the shallow reservoir (H-3, H-37) but for the deep well H-9, the PI is very different. The highest energy content was5.8 E+16 J.
