Science & Technology: New Book on Geothermal Well Test Analysis

Geothermal Well Test Analysis - Fundamentals, Applications and Advanced Techniques (Elsevier Inc.)

By Sadiq J. Zarrouk, Senior Lecturer of Geothermal Engineering, Department of Engineering Science, The University of Auckland, New Zealand and Katie McLean, Geothermal Reservoir Engineer, Contact Energy Ltd., New Zealand.

Geothermal Well Test Analysis: Fundamentals, Applications and Advanced Techniques provides a comprehensive review of the geothermal pressure transient analysis methodology and its similarities and differences with petroleum and groundwater well test analysis.

Also discussed are the different tests undertaken in geothermal wells during completion testing, output/production testing, and the interpretation of data. In addition, the book focuses on pressure transient analysis by numerical simulation and inverse methods, also covering the familiar pressure derivative plot.

Finally, non-standard geothermal pressure transient behaviors are analyzed and interpreted by numerical techniques for cases beyond the limit of existing analytical techniques. https://doi.org/10.1016/C2017-0-02723-4
