In Kızıldere Geothermal Field, there were 25 drilled wells until 2009, 9 of which are currently being produced for 15 MWe GPP now.

After the evaluation of geological and geophysical exploration studies conducted at the field, new well locations were determined for the planned new power plant. The drilling work commenced in November 2009 and as of January 2011, 11 wells are completed. In this regard, geochemical sampling, tests and measurements are performed at two phase fluids: Chemical, stable isotope samplings are realized for brine, while gas samples are taken for NCG and 13C-CO2 isotope and steam condensate sampling are conducted for gas/steam phase. For the determination of Gas/Gas+Steam ratio in-situ, measurements are performed at steam phase.

Geochemical characterization of wells mainly depend on different reservoirs in Kızıldere Geothermal Field.
