Interference effect of producing wells on observation wells in a geothermal field (Cerro Prieto)
- eds.
Interference effects of producing wells on an observation well in a geothermal field where the producing formations are porous, naturally fractured, and without much anisotropy can be calculated using the already established pressure-time-mass flow equations for slightly compressible fluids flowing in porous or pseudo-porous formations. When the results are correlated with pressure or water level decline in the observation well, a fundamentally important parameter of the reservoir is obtained. This parameter relates recharge and storativity of the reservoir and can be used in determining the optimum well spacing. The approach is illustrated with an example from Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field, Baja California, Mexico.
