Assessment of Well Tests in Salavatli-Sultanhisar Geothermal Field of Turkey

Abstract

This paper presents our analysis of several well tests performed for the formation evaluation in the Salavatli geothermal field Turkey, by using the data accumulated over 20 years since the drilling of the first well. Available geological information about the area has been included. Three specific studies were conducted within context of this work. First, qualitative analysis has been carried out to identify permeable zones. Then, conventional pressure transient analysis methods have applied to this liquid dominated geothermal reservoir to determine transmissivities of the reservoir around the wells drilled. Finally, modern well test interpretation techniques have been used to obtain both reservoir parameters and suitable models, and the results were reported.
