Liquid-Dominated Reservoir
Typical of the large proportion of conventional geothermal resources in which wells are self-flowing or pumped depending on reservoir temperature. Self-flowing wells produce a mixture of steam and hot water from reservoirs that are close to boiling point or vapor-saturation. Pumped wells produce hot water only from reservoirs that are well below boiling temperature.
