| Abstract | A current injection-tracer test in the Svartsengi field Iceland is described. and some of the initial results presented. An earlier injection test is also summarized. The problems of silica deposition and corrosion in the spent brine from the Svartsengi power plant, and the of injection on reservoir draw-down and tracer breakthrough, are at the center of the study. Rapid tracer breakthrough has been observed in one of the six production wells, as a result of sustained injection into one well. Iodide seems to be ideal chemical tracer for hightemperature geothermal systems. Rhodamine appears to have less merit, except for qualitative testing. |
