Abstract: We study the primitive divisors of the terms of $(Delt{a}_n{)}_{ngeq1}$, where $Delt{a}_n=N_{K/mathbbQ}(u^n-1)$ for $K$ a real quadratic field, and $u>1$ a unit element of its ring of integers. The methods used allow us to find the terms of the sequence that do not have a primitive prime divisor.
