Salts are essentially insoluble in the low pressure steam produced from vapor-dominated systems. Hence, the normal chemical constituents used in studying hot-water geothermal systems prove ineffective in the study of subsurface conditions of vapor dominated systems. However, noble gases and stable isotopes of water may be used to fill this gap and may, in addition, provide a means of estimating the degree of reservoir depletion.
