Alaşehir geothermal area located in Alaşehir Graben, West Anatolia – Turkey is the current target for geothermal field development. Currently, more than 6 operators are developing the power capacity in this field on a strictly competitive, and largely confidential, basis without significant exchange of resource information among them. Although there are three binary and a combined flash-binary power plants with widely changing power generation efficiency between plants, additional new plant capacity will be installed before 2020 due to attractive geothermal incentives. Power supply capability of the field is discussed considering economic and physical reliability using heat in place method. Discussions on the performance of the field is also included using different development scenarios.

Coiled Tubing Acid Stimulation of Alasehir Geothermal Field Turkey Akın, Serhat; Yazman, Metin; Karadağ, Mahmut; Seçkin, Cemil; Tonguç, Erinç; Gürel, Emrah; Yarım, Harun (null; 2015-04-26) Alaşehir geothermal area located in Alaşehir Graben, West Anatolia – Turkey is the current target for geothermal field development. Currently, more than 6 operators are developing the power capacity in this field on a strictly competitive, and largely confidential, basis without significant exchange of resource information among them.

Practical Experiences About Reservoir Monitoring in Alasehir Geothermal Field Aydın, Hakkı; Akın, Serhat; Tezel, Seray (2018-02-14) Alaşehir geothermal area that is located in southern part of the Alaşehir Graben is one the important geothermal areas in Turkey. Currently, more than 6 operators are exploiting this field on a strictly competitive, and largely confidential, basis without significant exchange of resource information among them. This paper discusses monitoring of the response of part of Alaşehir geothermal system to large scale exploitation. In this regard, temperature and pressure of the reservoir, steam flowrate, brine flo...
Estimation of upcoming problems in Alaşehir geothermal field using a numerical reservoir model Aydin, Hakki; Akın, Serhat (2021-04-01) Alaehir geothermal area located in Alaehir Graben, West Anatolia, is the latest target for geothermal field development in Turkey. Seven different operators are developing the power capacity in this geothermal field on a strictly competitive and largely confidential basis without the significant exchange of resource information among them. Currently, eleven binary and combined flash-binary geothermal power plants with widely changing power generation efficiency between plants produce from the same reservoir...
Fractal Modeling of Outcrop Fracture Patterns in Alasehir Geothermal Reservoir Turkey Gürel, Emrah; Coşkuner, Yakup Berk; Akın, Serhat (2016-02-24) Alasehir geothermal area located in Gediz graben is the current high enthalpy geothermal target in Turkey. The geothermal system mainly produces from fractured Paleozoic Menderes metamorphics. In order to characterize the fractured reservoir formations, marble and schist outcrop fracture networks were identified and traced using image analysis software. Primary and secondary fracture histograms were developed and box counting method was used to calculate fractal dimension. It was observed that for both form...
Hydrochemistry isotopic ratios and origin of thermal fluids in eastern Anatolia Aydın, Harun; Karakuş, Hüseyin; Mutlu, Halim; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Hılton, Davıd (2016-09-25) As a result of active volcanism and tectonism, the eastern Anatolian region in Turkey is represented by a high geothermal potential. In this study, we evaluate chemical and isotopic compositions of several geothermal springs in eastern Anatolia with emphasis on hydrochemical/isotopic characteristics and reservoir temperatures. Thermal waters were sampled in areas of Miocene volcanism (northeastern Anatolia) whilst some are collected in localities near historically-active volcanoes (e.g. Ağrı, Tendürek and S...
