A radial quasi-stationary model of steam extraction from a high-temperature bed is considered. It is shown that regimes accompanied by water boiling in a well or in permeable rocks may exist. The conditions for the liquid superheating in the near-well region and realizations of the front regime of steam generation in a bed are determined. The resultant parameters are compared with similar values obtained in a plane one-dimensional self-similar case.
