ABSTRACT

Production in the greater Olkaria Geothermal field has been ongoing since 1980s. To date, three sectors of the fields have been developed; two by kenGen and one by Orpower4 Inc. Downhole temperature profiles have been used in updating conceptual reservoir model of the field. Four up-flow zones have been observed from the model in three parts of the greater Olkaria Geothermal field with wells drilled in these zones producing highest output.

Keywords: Olkaria, up flow, down flow
