A New Medium To High Enthalpy Geothermal Field In Aegean Region (Akyar) Menderes – Seferi̇hi̇sar – İzmi̇r, Western Anatolia, Turkey, Metin Bulut

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

This study was performed considering that low to medium enthalpy geothermal areas are important besides the geothermal fields with high temperature located in Western Anatolia for heating, thermal tourism and agricultural applications. It was also aimed at obtaining fluids at high temperature in areas which were observed at a temperature relatively lower than the surface temperature. The study area is located at a region between the towns of Menderes and Seferihisar to the south-southwest of Izmir. This is a multidisciplinary investigation which obtained fluids and studied the geothermal energy potential of the area. Field studies were finalized carrying out geological …
