Abstract
A graphical interface for a geothermal reservoir simulator is presented using a model of the Wairakei geothermal field (New Zealand) as an example. The interface allows the user to graphically create or modify a computer model and then to analyze the simulation results. The package uses the X Window System, enabling it to be used on many computer platforms. The procedure used by the authors to create a model of geothermal fields is also discussed.
