As part of the application for a geothermal exploration permit in the Ede region (The Netherlands) a geological assessment study was conducted. The geothermal heat shall be used to feed the existing heat network. Major challenges were the interpretation of sparse vintage 2D seismic data in the region and finding a suitable drilling site in an urbanized environment outside the nearby Hoge Veluwe nature reserve. Data used included well data from two wells, gravity and a collection of 2D seismic lines. The workflow involves complete well velocity and density log upgrading, followed by seismic reprocessing, gravity and seismic interpretation and geothermal prospectivity estimation. An attractive reservoir has been found at ~2,5km depth, the Slochteren Sandstone formation, which is a well-known Permian reservoir rock formation. Diffraction imaging on one of the seismic lines demonstrated the presence of fractures that improves the prospectivity of the geothermal reservoir. The permit has been granted and follow-up work is planned.

Geothermal energy potential and utilization in Turkey Taşdemiroğlu, Ersoy (Elsevier BV, 1988-3) The regional distribution of the geothermal energy potential in Turkey, recent surveys, and utilization areas are described. The present and future roles of geothermal energy and their economic aspects are discussed. The implications of geothermal energy exploration and utilization are noted. Recommendations are made to expand geothermal-energy development.
Numerical modeling of balçova geothermal field Polat, Can; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) The aim of this study is to construct a numerical reservoir model for Balçova geothermal field, which is located in the İzmir bay area of the Aegean coast. A commercial numerical simulation program, TOUGH2 was utilized with a graphical interface, PETRASIM to model the Balçova geothermal field. Natural state modeling of the field was carried out based on the conceptual model of the field, then history matching of production – injection practices of the field was established for the period of 1996 – 2008. The...
Slope stability assessment of a re-activated landslide on the Artvin-Savsat junction of a provincial road in Meydancik, Turkey Topsakal, Ebru; Topal, Tamer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) The purpose of this study is to determine the most suitable remediation techniques for an active landslide area in Turkey, using a geological engineering assessment of a re-activated landslide that occurred during the construction of the Artvin-Savsat Junction on the Meydancik Provincial Road, at Km: 12 + 200. For this, the geotechnical parameters of the mobilized geological material-which is colluvium along the sliding surface-were determined by back analyses of the landslide at three geological sections. ...
Modeling of lithology induced chemical anomalies in the aquifer systems of the Kazan Trona deposit area, Ankara, Turkey Çamur, Mehmet Zeki; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2008-04-01) The study was carried out in order to investigate existing hydrogeochemical relationships between groundwater environment and geological units in the Kazan trona deposit area, Ankara, Turkey. Evaluations indicate that concentrations of alkalinity, boron, chloride and sodium in the upgradient groundwater of the Eocene sedimentary units gradually increase toward downgradient by the interactions of saline minerals (searlesite, shortite, northupite and pyrite) present in the secondary structures (microfractures...
Geochemical monitoring of geothermal waters (2002-2004) along the North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey: Spatial and temporal variations and relationship to seismic activity Süer, Selin; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Cifter, Candan; Sayin, Mesut (2008-01-01) A total of nine geothermal fields located along an 800-km long E-W transect of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), Turkey were monitored for three years (2002-2004 inclusive; 3-sampling periods per year) to investigate any possible relationship between seismic activity and temporal variations in the chemistry and isotope characteristics of waters in the fields. The geothermal fields monitored in the study were, from west to east, Yalova, Efteni, Bolu, Mudurnu, Seben, Kursunlu-Cankiri, Hamamozu, Gozlek an...
