Report presenting the results of the production and interference tests conducted on the geothermal wells RRGE 1 and RRGE 2 in Raft River Valley, Idaho during September--November, 1975.. In all, three tests were conducted, two of them being short-duration production tests and one, a long duration interference test. In addition to providing estimates on the permeability and storage parameters of the geothermal reservoir, the tests also indicated the possible existence of barrier boundaries. Geomorphology, geology and structure, subsurface correlation, reservoir tests and instrumentation, influence of earth tides on observed water pressures, theory of pumping tests are also discussed along with …
