In this study, the fracture structure of three coals (Sulu K-1, Acihk K-2 and Cay Dogu Ayak) from two different seams in the Zonguldak Basin located on the Black Sea coast of Turkey have been analyzed in relation to coalbed methane recovery. X-ray computerized tomography (CT), light microscopy image analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis have been performed on mine coal samples to have a better understanding of distribution of minerals, fracture morphology and apertures and matrix/fracture interactions via examination of fracture surfaces.

Source rock characterization of the shales and mudstones of the Campanian–Maastrichtian Haymana Formation, Haymana Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey Yıldırım, Levent Taylan Özgür; Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-3-03) This study investigates the petroleum potential of the shales and mudstones of the Campanian-Maastrichtian Haymana Formation in the Haymana Basin, Turkey. Lithofacies, pore structure, and source rock characteristics of the shales and mudstones are examined using stratigraphical, sedimentological, petrophysical, and organic geochemical methods along five stratigraphic sections and other sampling sites. The depositional model presents a facies distribution within submarine canyon, inner fan, mid fan, and oute...
High-altitude Plio-Quaternary fluvial deposits and their implication on the tilt of a horst, western Anatolia, Turkey Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Rojay, B (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01) This study investigates the origin and regional tectonic implications of high-altitude Plio (?)-Quaternary fluvial deposits developed over the Bozdak horst which is an important structural element within the horst-graben system of western Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 23 deposits occur near the modem drainage divide comprising fluvial to occasionally lacustrine deposits. The deposits are all elongated in N-S direction with a width/length ratio of 1/10. The largest of them is of 13 km in length with a maximum...
Cyclostratigraphy and sequence boundaries of inner platformmixed carbonate siliciclastic successions Barremian Aptian Zonguldak NW Turkey Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Altıner, Demir (2007-01-01) Barremian–Aptian shallow marine mixed carbonate–siliciclastic successions of the Zonguldak area (NW Turkey) have been studied in detail along three measured stratigraphic sections. Field and laboratory analysis of microfacies and sedimentary structures have demonstrated that sections are composed of meter-scale shallowing-upward cycles. Cyclicity of shallow water mixed carbonate–siliciclastic successions are generally observed in the form of alternating sandstone/siltstone or sandy limestone and limestone. ...
Sediment and water phosphorus characteristics in a pond of spring origin, Sakaryabasi springs basin, Turkey Pulatsü, Serap; Akçora, Akasya; Köksal, Fatma (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-03-01) The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in concentrations of phosphorus and iron in pondwater and porewater in the littoral zone of Sakaryabasi-Kirkgiz pond in central Turkey. The pond supplies water to the Rainbow Trout Fish Culture and Research Station in four months in which temperatures do not show a strong variation (16degreesC-22degreesC). Concentrations of soluble reactive phosphorus were 4- to 5-fold higher in porewater than in pondwater; thus, diffusion of SRP from porewater to pondw...
