Abstract
We consider the variation of pressure and temperature along the wellbores in the Mutnovskii hydrothermal steam field. We distinguish three types of barogram to characterize the state of the heat carrier in a well: the subvertical, the subvertical-inclined, and the inclined. The first two types are typical of the wellbore segment filled with the heat carrier in the state of steam and in the two-phase state, and the third is characteristic for the liquid state. A joint analysis of barograms and thermograms gave information on the phase state of the heat carrier along the wellbore and on the conditions peculiar to excitation of a well.
