Injection, Injectivity and Injectability in Geothermal Operations: Problems and Possible Solutions. Phase I. Definition of the Problems

摘要

The following topics are covered: thermodynamic instability of brine, injectivity loss during regular production and injection operations, injectivity loss caused by measures other than regular operations, heat mining and associated reservoir problems in reinjection, pressure maintenance through imported make-up water, suggested solutions to injection problems, and suggested solutions to injection problems: remedial and stimulation measures.
