Geological information is given on four oil shale fields in middle and western Anatolia: Himmetoǧlu, Seyitömer, Beypazari{dotless} and Hati{dotless}ldaǧ. Some petrological, geochemical, Fischer assay and fluidized bed combustion test results for the oil shales are also presented. As a result of economic evaluation, it was concluded that Himmetoǧlu oil shale is the most appropriate for domestic and industrial utilization.

Geological Considerations for the Economic Evaluation of Turkish Oil Shale Deposits and Their Combustion-Pyrolysis Behavior
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The oil shale deposits in Turkey are widely distributed in middle and western Anatolia. Turkish oil shales are of Palaeocene-Eocene and middle upper Miocene age. Current reserves of oil shales are approximately 2,220 million tons (total reserve) and mainly are located in Himmetoglu, Seyitomer, Beypazari, and Hatildag deposits. Some petrological, geochemical, Fisher Assay, and fluidized combustion tests are performed for these oil shale fields, and it was concluded that Himmetoglu oil shale is the most appro...
Kinetic analysis of central anatolia oil shale by combustion cell experiments
Iscan, A. G.; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bagci, A. S. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-06-01)
In this study, four oil-shale samples (Nigde-Ulukisla) excavated from Central Anatolia Turkey were analyzed where this region is believed to have a high potential of oil in its shale rich outcrops. The samples (similar to 40 g) were combusted at 50 psi gas injection pressure, at an air injection rate of 1.5 L min(-1) in a combustion-reaction cell. All the experiments were conducted up to 600 degrees C. The percentages of oxygen consumption and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide production were obtained inst...
Geological and thermal characterization of EskiAYehir region oil shales
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2014-04-01)
In this study, geological consideration and thermal characterization of oil shale samples were studied. Geological considerations of oil shale samples were studied using Rock-Eval analysis and it was observed that the kerogen type of all oil shale samples were in the majority of Type-I and II. Thermal characteristics and kinetics analysis of oil shale samples were studied by non isothermal differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In air atmosphere, two different mechanisms caus...
Geostatistical evaluation of well logs in reservoir charachterization in Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli field
Rzazade, Rahim; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2013)
The Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (ACG) field is situated offshore of Caspian Sea Azerbaijan sector. It is an elongated anticline in structure and the reservoir section consists of mainly sandstone. Recoverable reserves are calculated to be 5.4 bbl of oil (Binyatov 2008). Sedimentary environment corresponding to this region is mainly fluvio-deltaic. The main aim of this study is to obtain better understanding of two main prolific hydrocarbon reservoir Pereriv B and Pereriv D by integration of well logs and core dat...
Occurrence of organic matter-rich deposits (Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous) from Qalikuh locality, Zagros Basin, South–West of Iran: A possible oil shale resource
Rasouli, Ali; Shekarifard, Ali; Jalali Farahani, Farhang; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Daryabandeh, Manouchehr; Rashidi, Mehrab (Elsevier BV, 2015-4)
Organic-rich deposits of Qalikuh locality, Zagros Basin, Southwest of Iran are unconventional hydrocarbon resources considered as an oil shale, which is hosted within a carbonate succession with the age range of Middle Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous. Leco carbon, Rock-Eval VI and modified Fischer Assay analysis were performed on some outcrop samples of these resources to investigate the occurrence of oil shale. In the studied samples, mean total organic carbon (TOC) is 17.3 wt.% and the average of petroleum g...
