    Geothermal Potential and Circulation Depth of Hudai Thermal Springs (Sandikli-Afyonkarahisar, Turkiye) Using Magnetic, Geothermometry and Heat Flow Data

    Maden, Nafiz; Afsin, Mustafa; Aksever, Fatma; Davraz, Aysen; Biswas, A; Sharma, SP

    The Hudai-Sandikli geothermal basin having 23 thermal productivity wells is a significant geothermal energy source field. The analysis of power spectrum, conventional heat flow and silica heat flow methods were implemented to identify the geothermal waters circulation depth, depth to Curie point and surface heat flow rate in the Hudai-Sandikli geothermal field. Hydrogeochemical facies of geothermal immature ancient waters having deep circulation in lower hydraulic conductive aquifers are Na-Ca-HCO3-SO4 and Na-Ca-SO4-HCO3, which is represented very high ion content because of extensive contact with rocks. The heat conduction law is employed to specify the rate of heat flow using the geothermal gradient value. The numerical results determined from silica geothermometer method, the mean heat flow density and Curie temperature depth are obtained as 103.69 mWm(-2) and 11.81 km, respectively. The study region was represented by a mean geothermal gradient of 49.18 degrees C km(-1) yielding average reservoir depths of 0.90 km. The estimated Curie temperature, heat flow, reservoir temperature values demonstrated that the region indicates significant geothermal energy potential because of the partial melting of lithospheric crust.

    Geophysical approach for the detection and evaluation of geothermal energy potential stimulated from geology and tectonics in Cappadocia Region (Central Turkey)

    Maden, Nafiz

    Geothermal energy, which is a renewable energy source, can be used to heat buildings or generate electricity and does not contribute to air pollution when used properly, and it is heat continuously produced inside the earth that generates geological phenomena on a planetary scale. Central Anatolia is a triangular region which is limited by North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) to the north, East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) to the east, Dead sea FZ and Cyprus FZ to the south. The tectonic structure of the Cappadocia region is composed of NW trending Salt Lake Fault Zone extending approximately 220 km in length, Salanda fault zone extending 140 km, and NE trending Central Anatolian Fault zone more than 700 km in length. There are 82 geothermal regions having 171 sources with low and high temperatures due to the young volcanism and tectonic activities in this region. These geothermal regions caused by fault and fracture zones extending to the mantle parallel to the tectonic zones of the region and are situated on the areas having low Curie, high heat flow values. The Curie point depth, heat flow and geothermal gradient values determined from geophysical data of the region are correlated with tectonics and geothermal potential of the region. While the minimum crustal thickness is 38 km, the maximum crustal thickness is 41 km in Mt. Hasan and Mt. Erciyes. The Curie point depth value is computed as 13.7 km determined from magnetic anomaly data of the region. The geothermal gradient and heat flow values are estimated to be 42.3 °Ckm-1, 88.8 mWm-2, respectively. Geothermal systems and reservoir temperature of geothermal sources should be understood clearly to provide sustainability of the project with respect to the economical conditions. Various geothermometers methods have been used to determine the reservoir temperature in order to estimate the field of usage of the thermal water before the drilling stage because of the high price of the borehole. Silica geothermometers method applied to the SiO2 content of the sources gives the best information about the reservoir temperature. The maximum temperatures and depth to reservoir of the geothermal sources located in the Kayseri region are estimated as 131.8 °C, 1.14 km, respectively, in Kayseri region. It is concluded from these values that the Cappadocia region has very high geothermal potential caused by tectonic activities after the Late Triassic and partial melting of the lower crust.
