Abstract
The Kozakli geothermal field is located near the Kirsehir Massif, in the central part of Minor Asia. It is Paleozoic in age and composed of metamorphic schists, marble and granite.
The chemical composition of the geothermal fluid has been determined as mainly NaCl- (Ca) Cl (HCO3) type with measureable amounts of SO4.
Reservoir temperature of the system was estimated to be about 105oC -125oC at shallow depths (around 1000m.), while it was close to 200oC for depths of 2000 m-2500 m. This was estimated using the Giggenbach diagram and chemical geothermometers correlated with the geothermal gradient of the area.
Hot Springs of the Kozaklı geothermal field were estimated to not have reached equilibrium because of rapid circulation in the ground.
