Exploration for ultra-deep (>4 km depth) geothermal reservoirs in the Netherlands subsurface heavily depends on the full exploitation of existing subsurface data before spending on new data sets will be commissioned. Especially the Carboniferous and Permian formations host proven oil and gas reservoirs and are therefore targets of the ultradeep geothermal exploration. By means of an integrated approach exploiting several geophysical and geological data sets in one modelling environment, we demonstrate that several kilometers of sediments have been deposited and preserved below the Upper Triassic in the Roer Valley Graben. These formations are out-of-reach of the existing seismic data and well data. Our approach that we present in this paper entails: 2D gravity and magnetic modelling constrained by seismic interpretation that in turn has been tied to reprocessed velocity and density well log data and additional information on Moho and intra-crustal discontinuity depth from recent studies done by others.

Verification of empirically determined support systems of the Kılıçlar highway tunnel by numerical modelling Çelik, Gözde; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2011) The aim of this study is to determine the geological and geotechnical characteristics of Kılıçlar Tunnel on Ankara-Kırıkkale Highway, to suggest the appropriate support and excavation systems and verify these suggested support systems via numerical modeling. The length of Kılıçlar Tunnel is 1110 m. The width of tunnel is 16 m, the height is 10 m and the maximum overburden height is 90 m. Since Ankara-Kırıkkale Highway consists of 2x3 lanes, the tunnel is designed as a twin tube tunnel. Kılıçlar Tunnel is pl...
ENabling Onshore CO2 Storage in Europe (ENOS) Sınayuç, Çağlar(2020-8-31) To meet the ambitious EC target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) needs to move rapidly towards full scale implementation with geological storage solutions both on and offshore. Onshore storage offers increased flexibility and reduced infrastructure and monitoring costs. Enabling onshore storage will support management of decarbonisation strategies at territory level while enhancing security of energy supply and local economic activities, and securing job...
Identification of morphometric properties of basins located on western part of NAFZ Sarp, Gülcan; Toprak, Vedat; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2012) This study aims to investigate tectonic activity levels and development stages of the tectonic and hydrologic basin areas located on western part of the main trace of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) using quantitative measurement techniques. The basins investigated are Bolu, Yeniçağa, Dörtdivan, Çerkes, Ilgaz and Tosya. The methodology includes application of six morphometric indices (Basin Shape, Hypsometric curve and Hypsometric Integral, Sinuosity of Mountain Fronts, Stream Length Gradient Index, V...
Determination Of Spatial Distribution And Hydrochemistry Of Subaqueous Thermal Springs In The Lacustrine And Nearshore Environments In Southwest Anatolia Avşar, Özgür; Kurtuluş, Bedri; Avşar, Ulaş; Arslan, Şebnem; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (2013-04-12) Although submarine and sublacustrine hydrothermal systems have not been studied as much as on-land geothermal resources, recent technological developments attract many researchers to undertake studies on subaqueous hydrothermal systems. Such studies are relatively common elsewhere in the world, yet the occurrences of subaqueous thermal springs have not been sufficiently investigated in Turkey. A project, that has recently received funding from The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUB...
Determination of the dynamic characteristics and local site conditions of the plio-quarternary sediments situated towards the north of Ankara through surface wave testing methods Eker, Arif Mert; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2009) The purpose of this study is to assess the engineering geological and geotechnical characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene to Quaternary (Plio-Quaternary) deposits located towards the north of Ankara through surface wave testing methods. Based on a general engineering geological and seismic site characterization studies, site classification systems are assigned in seismic hazard assessments. The objective of the research is to determine the regional and local seismic soil...
