Abstract

Cerro Prieto is probably the most studied geothermal field in the world, in 19 77 a 5 year study agreement was initiated between Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) who manages and operates the field, and the Denartment of Energy (DOE) of the United States, this agreement ended in 1982 achieving a substantial improvement in reservoir knowledge. For the above reason, the agreement was renewed from 1986 to 1988.
