Geothermal Well Test Analysis: Fundamentals, Applications and Advanced Techniques by Sadiq J. Zarrouk (Associate Professor (Geothermal Engineering)brGeothermal PGCert Programme Director brDepartment of Engineering Science,brThe University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019,brAuckland New Zealand)
Geothermal Well Test Analysis: Fundamentals, Applications and Advanced Techniques provides a comprehensive review of the geothermal pressure transient analysis methodology and its similarities and differences with petroleum and groundwater well test analysis. Also discussed are the different tests undertaken in geothermal wells during completion testing, output/production testing, and the interpretation of data. In addition, the book focuses on pressure transient analysis by numerical simulation and inverse methods, also covering the familiar pressure derivative plot. Finally, non-standard geothermal pressure transient behaviors are analyzed and interpreted by numerical techniques for cases beyond the limit of existing analytical techniques.
