The dependence of permeability on effective stress for an injection test in the Higashi-Hachimantai Geothermal Field

January 1, 2000

A simple inverse-power relation for the influence of effective stress on permeability is used to explain the flow behavior during an injection test at the Higashi-Hachimantai geothermal field, Japan. The new analytical expression successfully models data from the experiment involving high-pressure injection and monitoring at an observation well.
