Geothermal reservoir engineering computer code comparison and validation using the GEONZ simulator program
It was originally proposed to use the GEOTHERM geothermal simulator program to prepare solutions to the first five of the six Department of Energy computer code comparison sets. Valid solutions were anticipated in all of the five problems attempted, but it was expected that problems 3 and 4 might present some difficulties. A more recent version of the program, called GEONZ became available and was used successfully on problems 3 and 4. The new program, GEONZ, had additional capabilities that enabled it to handle both superheated steam and counterflows of steam and water. The choice of the GEONZ code is discussed, followed by an in-depth description of the solutions obtained for problems 1 through 5. The problem statements are included as Appendix A. The five problems are: 1-D Avdonin Solution, 1-D well test analysis, 2-D flow in fracture/block medium, 2-D phase system with drainage, and flow in a 2-D areal reservoir. (MHR)
