| Popis: | Experiences in the use of methods for reducing steam deficit in operating geothermal power plants in Kamchatka (Russia) are summarized. Methods which are able to increase the steam flow rate of existing wells are considered: stimulation of flow to the well by multiple air injections and by quick opening of wellhead; stabilization of operating regime via throttle on the wellhead; stabilization of the well’s operating regime via reduced inside diameter; optimization of steam gathering scheme (together with water, separately and combined); reduction of hydraulic losses during transportation of steam; reduction of scaling by mixing flows from different wells; exception of steam loss during well’s flow parameters measurement. |
