Geothermal Exploration Strategy in Turkiye

Abstract

Turkiye is a country with great potential for geothermal energy and therefore there are many geothermal fields. It is necessary to carry out various exploration activities in order to determine these fields and reveal their potential. When we consider the geothermal power plants that produce electricity in Turkiye, almost all of them produce fluids from fractures that develop within metamorphic units. In order to determine the correct well location, many exploration methods are being tried to determine these potential areas. However, finding the right exploration activities to produce this fluid is of great importance. Geological and geophysical studies that will be carried out in order to reveal the underground structure of geothermal fields in Turkiye are the main subject of this article.
