The existence of Lithium elements in geothermal brine provides a tremendous potential for lithium mineral extraction. Lithium extraction from geothermal brine has become a point of interest with recent technological advancements and achievements. Large flow rates from geothermal wells provide a reasonable amount of lithium extraction from geothermal brine. It is essential to delineate the recoverable amount of Lithium from geothermal systems for the economic feasibility of the projects. In this study, we assess the recoverable lithium mineral potential in geothermal systems using two different approaches: Monte Carlo Simulation and Decline Curve Analysis. One of the most productive geothermal reservoirs in Western Anatolia, the Alaşehir field, is presented as a case study.
