Abstract
Radon concentration was monitored during the flow tests of well IC-09 at the Chingshui geothermal field. The radon concentration was found to increase as a step function of production time, or cumulative production. The observed radon behavior implied that scale deposited near the wellbore in the reservoir. The high skin factors (61.1 and 78.2) determined from pressure buildup tests also supports that scale deposited in the reservoir.
