45<strong>pressure</strong> profiles <strong>in</strong> Fig. 32. In 1980 a pure steam capreaches down to approximately 300 m. but In 1983 <strong>the</strong> lowerlevel of <strong>the</strong> steam cap Is at least at 350 m depth(Fig. 32).Well SG-l 1 is 1141 m deep. It has cooled down by about 13°Cat depth between <strong>the</strong> dates '82.03.18 <strong>and</strong> '83.05.05(Fig. 33). The boil<strong>in</strong>g level <strong>in</strong> 19 82 right after completicnof <strong>the</strong> well was at a depth of 400 m, but due to <strong>the</strong>coolIng of th e reservoir fl uid <strong>the</strong> boil<strong>in</strong>g leve l !n 1983 Isalmost at <strong>the</strong> same level as In 1982 Inspite of a drawdownIn <strong>the</strong> reservoir dur<strong>in</strong>g that time.Well SG-12 was <strong>in</strong>itially drilled as an relnjectlon well toa depth of 11167 m. Its flow has been tested <strong>and</strong> anexperiment on <strong>in</strong>jection has been carried out with thiswell. Between 1982 <strong>and</strong> 1983 ( Fig 35) a cool<strong>in</strong>g seems to betak<strong>in</strong>g place <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> well. but <strong>the</strong> experiment on <strong>in</strong>jectionmight have disturbed <strong>the</strong>se measurements. The drawdown <strong>in</strong><strong>the</strong> reservoir at this place seems to be of <strong>the</strong> order of 7bars between 1982 <strong>and</strong> 1983 (Fig. 36). No boil<strong>in</strong>g effectshave been detected <strong>in</strong> this well.
