The numerical techniques embodied in the fully interactive reservoir simulator (AGRESS) are described; the results of the calculation for the five-spot production/injection pattern are also presented. The analysis of the pressure drawdown and buildup tests for geothermal reservoirs is presented. The effects of in-formation flashing of brines both near a wellbore and at levels above the producing horizon are described. The thermodynamic equation of state package for sodium chloride/water solutions is described. The calculations simulate the production and subsidence history of Wairakei field. Future research plans are outlined. (MHR)
