Espinosa Paredes Ciencias de la Tierra Los Humeros Horner method numerical simulation Spherical Radial Flow method Initial temperature distribution The initial formation temperature field of the Los Humeros geothermal reservoir is presented. The stabilized formationtemperatures were estimated for the 40 wells from this field using the Horner and the Spherical Radial Flow (SRF) methods. Bothsets of formation temperatures were compared with the formation temperatures obtained by numerical simulation of the circulationand shut-in processes of the wells. From these comparisons, the formation temperatures obtained by the SRF method werechosen as more realistic than the Horner method temperatures. In the simulations, the last series of temperature logs was reproducednumerically considering circulation losses. Results for well H-26 are included as an example. Then isothermal curves of theformation temperatures for wells along different geological sections were obtained. Three sections are included, two longitudinaland one traverse, that illustrate the field initial temperature distribution. The observed temperature distribution shows the reservoirthermal features and the relationship of thermal anomalies and reservoir faults. 2002 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56841317 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.3 Vol.41
