| Abstract | Miravalles geothermal field lies in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica in Central America. A t the time of the study ( late 1982), three wells (named PGM-1, PGM-2 and PGM-3). had been drilled and periodically tested in this field during 1980-82. During several of these tests scaling of the wellbore appeared to be a serious problem. This paper presents a portion of a study conducted to define the nature and causes of the scaling problem. |
