Title: Hawaii geothermal project. Phase III. Well testing and analysis. Quarterly progress report, January 1-March 31, 1977

Abstract

Management and geosciences program activities are reviewed briefly. The primary emphasis in geosciences is on continued data analysis and synthesis. The engineering program continued with numerical modelling activities. The HGP-A wellhead assembly has been modified to reduce the noise level, and a new wellhead platform has been built which meets OSHA standards. HGP-A has been flash discharged from January 26 to February 11, 1977 and data obtained for throttled flow conditions by inserting orifices of varied sizes in the discharge line. A second pressure buildup test was run after the well was shut-in. Pressure and temperature profiles have been obtained during discharge and quiescent periods. Reservoir analyses have been made using pressure buildup and drawdown data.
