This question is in reference to an observation of down-hole temperature 
increase in a geothermal well at its shut-in (high pressure, 35MPa) compared 
to its flowing pressure (low pressure, 7MPa). There is a temperature increase 
of about 4 degrees C over 5 minutes when the flowing well is shut in.
