The demand for natural gas is rapidly increasing in Turkey as it is in the rest of the world. However, natural gas reserves and production are rather limited in Turkey. The bulk of the Turkish gets demand is met by imports. Russia currently accounts for 69% of Turkey's gas supplies. Physical shortages might occur; supplies for industrial production and household consumption could temporarily run short. Also, fluctuations in consumption might occur due to climatic reasons or peak daily industrial energy demand Underground gas storage is a necessity in order to regulate these seasonal, daily and hourly fluctuations. In order to effectively design and utilize underground gas storage, it is necessary to identify the market requirements.

Computational modelling of free surface flow in intake structures using flow 3D software Ergen, Mehmet Kayra; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Turkey is a developing country and its energy demand is increasing due to its growing population and industry. As a result, to fulfill this growing energy demand, Turkey is currently developing its unused hydropower potential, especially through small hydroelectric power plants (SHPPs). Estimation of annual electricity generation of a small hydropower plant strongly depends on streamflow data. In Turkey, there are a limited number of streamgaging stations so the estimation of streamflow at a potential SHPP ...
Investigation of Large Scale Slope Failure Mechanisms and Numerical Modeling for the Safe Design of Slopes in a Lignite Mine Tutluoglu, LEVEND; Karpuz, Celal (2008-07-24) With about 9.3 billion tons of reserve, lignite is a major source for energy production in Turkey. Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKI) produces about 60% of the yearly lignite production capacity. Can Surface Lignite Mine which is planned to produce approximately 2.5 million tons of 3000 kcal/kg coal, will be one of the main production areas of TKI. Possibility of large scale slope failures and their negative effects on mining operations in large Can Lignite Surface Mine on the northwestern Turkey were the major...
Simulation of depleted gas reservoir for underground gas storage Öztürk, Bülent; Bağcı, Suat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2004) For a natural gas importing country, أtake or payؤ approach creates problems since the demand for natural gas varies during the year and the excess amount of natural gas should be stored. In this study, an underground gas storage project is evaluated in a depleted gas Field M. After gathering all necessary reservoir, fluid, production and pressure data, the data were adapted to computer language, which was used in a commercial simulator software (IMEX) that is the CMG̕s (Computer Modelling Group) new genera...
Scenario Planning for Water Resources A Saudi Arabian Case Study Dejong, Remy Lucıen; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Allayla, Rashıd Ibrahım (1989-01-01) Uncommonly rapid development of the oil-rich Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia has led to heavy stresses on the local groundwater resources and there has arisen concern for the adequacy of supply to sustain future growth. Whereas oil is the only significant export commodity, the demand for it has an important and immediate impact on water exploitation activities. In this article four development scenarios are considered, each resulting in a specific water abstraction pattern. The hydrologic consequences of e...
Investigation of a landslide along a natural gas pipeline (Karacabey-Turkey) TOPAL, TAMER; Akın Ateş, Melek (2008-07-04) A new natural gas pipeline is under construction to provide the gas interconnection between Turkey and Greece, as well as to create gas ring for southern Europe. The new pipeline 0.90 m in diameter will be constructed next to an existing small diameter pipeline. However, the existing pipeline was broken by a landslide occurred in February 2006 near Karacabey (Bursa). In order to investigate the causes of the landslide and suggest possible remedial measures, geological and geotechnical investigations includi...
