Balçova geothermal field is located in a densely populated area which makes direct heat applications very efficient and economical. Heat produced from Balçova geothermal field is utilized for three main purposes: greenhouse heating, balneology and residential heating. Among these three applications, the latter one is the main application throughout the Balçova District Heating System. The field produces hot water from two different horizons: one shallow and one deeper zone. After had utilized for 16 years, few wellbores in the deeper zone had to be abandoned because of operational difficulties, and new wellbores were drilled in the same zone. Interference tests were carried out during flow testing at newly drilled wellbores. Analysis of pressure response at observation wellbores for production/injection practices indicated that there exists a very strong connection within the wellbores in the same zone. In addition, there exists also a hydraulic but weaker connection between shallower and deeper zones. Response of the field and the operational changes in production/injection applications are also presented.

Evolution of Balcova Geothermal District Heating System Turkey
Parlaktuna, Mahmut (null; 2015-04-23)
Balçova geothermal field is located in a densely populated area which makes direct heat applications very efficient and economical. Heat produced from Balçova geothermal field is utilized for three main purposes: greenhouse heating, balneology and residential heating. Among these three applications, the latter one is the main application throughout the Balçova Geothermal District Heating System (BGDHS). The field produces hot water from two different horizons: one shallow and one deeper zone. This paper pre...
Soil CO2 Flux and Temperature Measurements in Kızıldere Geothermal Field
KÜÇÜK, SERHAT; başer, ali; saraçoğlu, önder; AKIN, TAYLAN; şentürk, erdinç; tüzen, mahmut kaan; Akın, Serhat (2021-10-01)
Geothermal fields in Turkey have substantially higher carbon dioxide content compared to a typical geothermal field in the world. Geothermal Emission Control (GECO) project aims to reduce carbon emissions by reinjecting produced carbon dioxide from a pilot reinjection well. A high-resolution CO2 flux meter is used to measure the surface carbon dioxide flux and temperature parameters in Kızıldere field, which is one of the demonstration fields in this project. The aim of these measurements is to map the natu...
Numerical modeling of Edremit geothermal field
Günay, Emre; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2012)
The purpose of this study is to examine the geothermal potential, sustainability, and reinjection possibility of Edremit geothermal field. In order to investigate this, a numerical model consisting of a hot and cold water aquifer system is established. A two dimensional cross sectional model is set to simulate this geothermal system. Different pressure and temperature values are applied to the nodes at the boundaries to perform a steady state calibration which minimizes the computed results and observed val...
Study Case of Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Heat Pump System for Different Cities in Turkey
Moia-Pol, Andreu; Pujol-Nadal, Ramon; Martinez-Moll, Victor; Bonyadi, Nima; Baker, Derek (2016-10-14)
The combination of solar thermal, photovoltaic, and heat pump technologies is a welcome advancement in countries with large solar resources such as Turkey. These systems could have similar efficiencies throughout the year for different locations in Turkey if we adjust the solar storage according to the weather conditions. In this paper, solar heating with a heat pump system for buildings have been designed to achieve different values of the fraction of primary energy saved using Flat Plate Collectors (FPC) ...
Design of Electrical Submersible Pump system in geothermal wells: A case study from West Anatolia, Turkey
Aydın, Hakkı; Merey, Şükrü (Elsevier BV, 2021-5-12)
Geothermal is defined as one of the renewable and sustainable energy sources. The sustainability of geothermal wells is highly dependent on the pressure drive mechanism and non-condensable gas (NCG) content of the produced geothermal fluid. Pressure decline and decline of non-condensable gases are commonly observed in geothermal production wells, which is unfavorable for wells’ lifetime. Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) are one of the solutions for extending the lifetime of geothermal wells. In this study...
