Abstract

Theoretical results on free liquid surface dynamics presented by Bodvarsson (1978, this volume), provide the basis for a technique of reservoir probing and testing which can yield results that are supplementary to conventional well test in g data. The Laugarnes geothermal area in Iceland which is one of the sources of the Reykjavik District Heating System is a case where both methods are applicable and appear, interestingly, to yield quite different results. A brief account of the free surface results will be presented below.
