Abstract
Kizildere, which is the first high temperature geothermal field utilized for electricity generation in Turkey, has 25 years of production history. High carbon dioxide content makes the calcite scaling the major problem of the wells, surface facilities and the reservoir. Acidizing and mechanical reaming methods have been tried to remove scaling from the wells. This paper will present an up to-date production data and reevaluation of well behavior before and after acidizing of the production wells in the field.
