The Reinjection of Kizildere Geothermal Area, Reinjection Works and Doing Necessity

Abstract

As of January 2009 the geothermal field Kızıldere had 25 deep wells and 108 gradient wells. Some of them cannot be used. A portion are observation wells, and one is used for re-injection. Nine production wells feed the power plant. In the case of the R-3 well, test work has been completed after making a connection to participate in production. In previous years, production was done from the KD-20 well, and waste water was injected in the KD-7 well. This study was of less than 1 month. Other wells were abandoned for affecting the other wells quickly and for other reasons. In 2002, the KD14, 15,16 and 20 were connected at a separator, output water was collected in a main line, and a 405 t/h flow rate re-injection was accomplished. Over a long period the re-injection flow rate was 230-250 t / h, and 30 kg tracer have been used and monitored for 6 months in the other wells. In this study, re-injection at Kizildere field work, and do the work that needs to be done by re-injection, and then started reinjection in 2002 began to change in the field observations are given.
