Abstract
Fault-type geothermal fields are common in recent volcanism areas. The recent model of the Dachny site, Mutnovsky geothermal field (Kamchatka, Russia) represented as a single fault production zone with the heat exchange to ambient rocks expressed in terms of “confining beds TOUGH2 option” (Kiryukhin, Stanford Workshop 2004) was improved by add of the 5-layer external grid connected to the production zone. Sensitivity study of the external grid petrophysical properties influence on the model behavior was performed.
