Studies are described to develop tracers which do not interact with a reservoir and to calculate the mixing of injected fluids and native reservoir fluids. Techniques to calculate the reactions of injected fluids with reservoir rocks are presented. Test results at East Mesa and Raft River Geothermal fields are described and interpretations of field mixing in terms of reservoir characteristics are developed. Supporting laboratory experiments on fracture flow are used to assure that interpretations of field data are based on sound theoretical concepts. A computer code, FRACSL, is described which is used to analyze the fluid mixing data obtained in laboratory and field experiments.
