| Abstract | After twenty years of operation, the Bacman geothermal field has undergone geochemical changes that lead to operational challenges unique to the field. Since the start of its commercial operation in 1993, continuous long-term full extraction was not attained due to power plant problems. This condition has somewhat preserved the steam supply of the field. The historical steam flow rate decline is relatively low at ~7.5 kg/s/year or |
