ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for eliminating the static venting of shut-in geothermal wells producing from vapor-dominated geothermal formations comprising providing a closed system means for interwell flow of geothermal vapors from higher pressured wells to lower pressured wells so that the flow of geothermal vapors between the wells interconnected by said flow prevents accumulation of condensate and non-condensable vapors in said wellbores. Usually between 2 and about 15 completed geothermal wellbores in the same formation are connected in interwell flow.
