The Unloading of Water Coloumn and Annular Velocity to Discharge Geothermal Wells

Abstract

Well KRC-F1 and KRC-G1 have been drilled to obtain resource confirmation and obtain an overview of the conceptual concept of the Kerinci prospect. Based on exploration data point of view, 5 wells that have been drilled have provided many subsurface data that provide resource confirmation and the Kerinci reservoir conceptual model. However, from the five wells, the KRC-F1 and KRC-G1 wells cannot be discharged. This causes the potential productivity of the well has not yet been proven which has led to further development plans that cannot be accurately arranged. This also causes the two wells to have no economic value in productivity. Therefore, to achieve the exploration objectives, namely to prepare a development plan, these two wells need to be stimulated through unloading water coloumn dan annular velocity so that they reach a continuous discharge condition. Several studies have been conducted to identify the needs and solutions for the two wells not yet discharged.
