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 natural variation of the soil CO2 flux in the Kızıldere Geothermal Field and to construct a baseline data to find out whether the injected CO2 leaks to the surface via faults and natural fractures during/after the prospective injection operations. The measurement grid is constructed in a way that the soil CO2 flux and temperature data will be as comprehensive as possible to include all the potential leakage sites. Monthly measurements are conducted to monitor the seasonal changes.

Flow Testing of Balcova Geothermal Field Turkey
Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Parlaktuna, Burak (2015-04-19)
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, ...
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...
Geological, hydrogeological and geochemical analysis of the geothermal systems in The Büyük Menderes Graben
Güdücü, Hatice; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2012)
Geothermal reservoirs have become very popular in the last decades due to their renewable energy contents. Turkey has a high geothermal energy potential; especially Western Anatolia is a promising region in terms of its highest energy. Büyük Menderes Graben system is a tectonically active extensional region and is undergoing a N–S extension leading to form geothermal fields in the graben. In the last decade, geothermal exploration, investigations and investments have been increased rapidly through the law r...
Survey calculation procedures on aegean part of turkey geothermal wells
Büyükkağnıcı, Burak; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2020-10-14)
Productive sections of geothermal wells generally exceed hundreds of meters which is substantially longer than that of the oil and gas reservoirs. This brings a flexibility and cost-effective solutions in the application of directional drilling activities during geothermal drilling. Well trajectory, especially the bottom hole position, is critical for geothermal operators and three parameters (measured depth, inclination, and azimuth) obtained from MWD surveys are used to carry out survey calculations...
