Abstract
The steam and water relative permeabilities at The Geysers and Salton Sea geothermal reservoirs were calculated from available production data. A method was developed to estimate the relative permeability curves using DarcyÆs Law from mass production rates of steam and water that are available from the DOGGR database. Results show The Geysers behavior approaches the X-curve behavior and Salton Sea behavior approaches Corey curve behavior.
