The lip-pressure method is the most convenient means of measuring the flow of many geothermal wells. The technique used is empirical and is based upon measurements made on wells with low content of noncondensible gas or dissolved solids. A correction was suggested by James (1970) for gas content. Recent results from wells of high gas content show that this correction must be revised. A theoretical derivation from Fauske's critical flow model partly supports the revision.
