© 2022 Elsevier LtdThe Molla-Bismil area is a petroleum province, which hosts predominantly Paleozoic oil fields in the foreland area of the Diyarbakır Basin. The Arpatepe, Bahar, Yeniev, and Çalıktepe fields are Paleozoic oil field discoveries in the Molla-Bismil area to-date and have consequently been the focus of considerable research. This significant breakthrough reveals that the deep-wells in the Molla-Bismil area have proven the existence of a Paleozoic petroleum system. Prospective source rocks are located stratigraphically above the upper part of the Bedinan Formation (Upper Ordovician) reservoir, near the base of the Dadaş Formation (Llandovery, Dadaş-1 member). The lithology of the lower part of the Dadaş-1 member, also known as hot shales in the Molla-Bismil area, are typified by organic-rich brownish-black colored shale containing bitumen and thin limestone beds. New well data assists with the regional definition and correlation of typical source rock properties within the Diyarbakır Basin. Subsurface stratigraphy was derived for several deep wells from the Molla-Bismil area and core or drill cuttings from the Çatak-1, Bahar-1, Göksu-1R and Çalıktepe-2 wells were studied and reviewed for lithological and geochemical information. The understanding and prediction of the geochemical characterization of the Lower Silurian (Llandovery) organic-rich shales relevant for hydrocarbon production are crucial for Turkey's fossil fuel supply. Based on new drilling data, we re-examined the properties of the Llandovery organic-rich shales in the Molla-Bismil region. This study brings together new and previously unpublished knowledge about the Paleozoic plays of SE Turkey.

Enhancing petroleum recovery from heavy oil fields by microwave heating Acar, Çağdaş; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007) There are many heavy oil reservoirs with thin pay zones (less than 10 m) in the world and in Turkey. Conventional steam injection techniques are not costeffective for such reservoirs, due to excessive heat loss through the overburden. Heat losses can be minimized through controlled heating of the pay zone. One such way is to introduce heat to the reservoir in a controlled manner is microwave heating. Laboratory studies on microwave heating of a scaled model of a heavy oil reservoir with a thin pay zone are ...
Risk assessment of petroleum transportation pipeline in some Turkish oil fields Öğütçü, Gökçen; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2004) In this thesis, quantitative risk assessment study of several oil field transportation lines that belong to a private oil production company located in S. East Turkey has been conducted. In order to achieve this goal, first primary risk drivers were identified. Then relative ranking of all pipeline segments were conducted. Quantitative risk assessment was based on Monte Carlo simulations and a relative scoring index approach. In these simulations frequency of occurrence of pipeline failures for different oi...
Dip tarama malzemesi boşaltımı için Marmara denizinde uygun alanlarının belirlenmesi: DİPTAR proje çıktıları Yüksek, Ahsen; Tan, İbrahim; Tolun, Leyla; Tutak, Bilge; Ediger, Dilek; Polat-beken, Çolpan; Altıok, Hüsne; Tuğrul, Süleyman (null; 2016-06-03) Ülkemiz kıyılarında bulunan liman, marina ve nehir taramalarından yaklaşık olarak 5x106 m3tarama malzemesi çıkmaktadır. Söz konusu taramaların büyük bir kısmı Marmara Denizi’nde yapılmaktadır. Çevresindeki insan aktiviteleri sonucu kirlenmesi muhtemel tarama malzemesinin kontrolsüz bir şekilde boşaltılması kirlilik yaratabilir. Çoğu uluslararası sözleşmelerde tarama malzemesinin yönetiminin en önemli aşamalarından biri denizdeki boşaltım alanlarının seçilmesidir. Bu çalışma “Deniz Dip Tar...
Artificial recharge of groundwater in Küçük Menderes River Basin, Turkey Peksezer, Ayşe; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2010) Küçük Menderes River Basin located in western Turkey has been facing continuous groundwater level decreases for the past 30 years. In dry periods, irrigation demand is completely met by pumping from groundwater system, which reduces water levels significantly. This provides enough storage to be recharged in wet seasons when streams are running. However, increased runoff in wet season are not utilized neither for irrigation nor for recharge and lost to the Aegean Sea without being infiltrated. Hence, surface...
An analysis of deformation behaviorof Muratlı asphalt faced rockfill dam Ünsever, Yeşim Sema; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) In this study, settlement and seepage behavior of Muratlı Dam, which is the first asphalt faced rockfill dam in Turkey, is investigated for the “end of construction” and “reservoir impoundment” loading conditions. Two dimensional plane strain finite element analyses are carried out in order to determine the total stresses, displacements and pore water pressures. Hardening soil model is used in order to represent the non-linear, inelastic and stress dependent behavior of rockfill material. Material model par...
