Pressure decline with respect to time is one of the main concerns in geothermal field management. In order to maintain the reservoir pressure, a sustainable reinjection strategy is needed. In this study, a numerical model of Kızıldere Geothermal Field is constructed, which is then used to assess the current shallow reinjection/deep production strategy. According to the output of the numerical simulation, a new reinjection strategy is proposed. It has shown that more sustainable and reliable reinjection strategy can be applied by diverting the reinjection water from the shallow wells to the existing deep wells.

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...
Numerical modeling of Kızıldere geothermal field Özkaya, Melike; Karahanoğlu, Nurkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2007) This research is dedicated to make a foreseeing of the future state of the Kızıldere Geothermal Field in order to suggest acceptable solutions to the current problems. The non-isothermal mechanism of the geothermal field is simulated for the pressure and temperature variables. For this purpose, a finite element model (696 four-nodal elements with 750 nodes) of the field is formulated by considering the geological conditions and the present wells already drilled in the area. Then the model is calibrated to t...

Structural controls on Kızıldere geothermal field, Denizli-Turkey Aksu, Baykan; Kaymakcı, Nuretdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Kızıldere geothermal field is one of the hottest fields located in south-western Anatolia and electricity has been produced from geothermal source since 1984. This high enthalpy geothermal field is located at the eastern edge of Büyük Menderes graben, which is one of the most active extensional structure belonging to the western Anatolian graben-horst system. Büyük Menderes graben, which hosts numerous geothermal fields, is a 3 - 30 km wide, 170 km long, nearly E-W trending depression developed under the N-...
Application of artificial neural networks to predict the downhole inclination in directionally drilled geothermal wells Burak, Tunç; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2018) Drilling directionally through naturally fractured geothermal reservoirs is a challenging task due to unexpected changes in inclination and azimuth of the well axis, which causes inefficient weight on bit transfer, decrease in penetration rate, increasing the risk of stuck pipe and problems in while running casings. To predict the sudden changes in inclination while drilling, a back propagation, feed forwarded multi layered artificial neural network (ANN) model, which uses drilling data collected from 12 J-...
