Little is known about fluid and heat transfer process, and thermodynamic conditions of formation fluids beneath the main permeable zones of vapor-dominated systems. Temperature data is presented for deep horizons at Larderello, Italy. The data was analyzed with a view to identifying reservoir conditions and processes at depth. Of particular interest were the mechanisms and rates of fluid and heat flow in the natural state and in response to exploitation, and the permeability structure of the reservoir. (ACR)
