Abstract
The variations in fluid composition observed in areas of Larderello field that are strongly affected by induced recharge are ascribed to a simple mechanism, and a comprehensive conceptual model is presented for these areas. According to our interpretation, the steam produced in areas affected by induced recharge is a mixture of two components (steam from recharge water and original “deep” steam). The natural recharge increased and recharge became an important phenomenon as a consequence of the pressure drawdown caused by exploitation. Three separate estimates of the water recharge give similar results and confirm that a significant fraction of the produced steam derives from recharge water.
