The Salton Sea Geothermal Field (SSGF) is a high-salinity, hightemperature resource. The San Diego Gas & Electric Company has constructed a nominal 10 MWe Geothermal Loop Experimental Facility (GLEF) which will use brine produced from Magma Power Company's Woolsey No. 1 (Wl) and Magmamax No. 1 (Ml) wells ; the Magmamax No. 2 (M2) and No. 3 (M3) wells will ' be used for reinjection. Intermittant brine production/ injection has been performed since May 1976, but no associated fluid flow data have been published. The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL), however, has correlated the data available from surface measurements and logs from various well s in the SSGF. We have used this limited data base and the MUSHRM simulator to synthesize a preproduction reservoir model for a portion of the SSGF which contains the GLEF site. The simulator is then applied to the model to examine reservoir performance under different assumptions to improve our understanding of the system and its potential for exploitation.
