Significant changes in temperature, chloride and silica concentration have occurred in well PN-26 of the Palinpinon Geothermal Field as a result of reinjection fluid returning. The chloride changes are modelled by a simple time-dependent production - reinjection lumped parameter model. Analytic solutions are derived for both constant and variable production rates. The decline in measured wellbore temperature is then modelled by coupling the chloride mass balance model to a fracture flow model. Production silica changes are also modelled by coupling the silica mass balance model for the production area to a transport and deposition model for the fractured zone. The final model in this paper is able to match changes in chloride, temperature and silica.
