Experiment 2078: The Initial Phase of the LTFT – Preliminary Flow Testing of the Phase II Reservoir -- and a Complete Checkout of the New Surface Plant, and the Integrated Digital Control and Data Acquisition Systems
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Experiment 2078 is planned as the initial phase of the Long-Term Flow Test. As such, it represents the "shakedown cruise" for the entire flowing system in its present configuration -- both the reservoir and the integrated surface plant. Since the Phase II reservoir has been continuously pressurized for the past 2-1/2 years at a mean pressure of about 15 MPa (2180 psi), it is essential to re-establish the relationships between surface injection and production pressures, and the resulting production flow rates. These relationships are needed before proceeding to the first -- aseismic -- phase of steady-state reservoir operation now planned to start early next year.
