Abstract
Build-up measurements from five wells (KD-6, KD-15, KD-16, KD-21, and KD-22) of Kizildere Geothermal field were analyzed. The main focus was to investigate the effect of calcite scaling on reservoir and wellbore parameters such as permeability, skin factor, wellbore storage coefficient. Several buildup tests from the same well before and after cleaning operations were interpreted to achieve this goal. The analyses of data showed that, it is possible to quantify the effect of calcite scaling on reservoir and wellbore parameters. It was also observed that some of the buildup tests were run at two-phase conditions and the results from these tests are erroneous
