Importance Of Reinjection In Sustainability Of Geothermal Resources And Reinjection Well Locations In Türkiye, Nilgün Doğdu, Oktay Çelmen
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Sustainability of geothermal energy is related with the type of geothermal resources (natural springs, well), usage situations (thermal, residential-greenhouse heating, energy, etc.), amount of use (optimal flow, appropriate pressure-temperature changes), conservation of resources, and is mostly achieved by reinjection of the geothermal fluid returning from usage. It is important to take measures to prevent adverse changes in temperature and pressure conditions in the reservoir to properly remove the fluid returning from use in geothermal areas from the environment and recharge the reservoir. Reinjection should be carried out under appropriate conditions for the protection of resources. In the operation of geothermal …

A Brief Overview On Geothermal Scaling, Tuğba Isik, Alper Baba, Dornadula Chandrasekharam, Mustafa Muammer Demi̇r
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Hot spring waters are rich in terms of minerals. Since there are dramatic changes in thermodynamic parameters in geothermal power plants, such as a decrease in temperature and pressure, severe precipitation occurs throughout the system components in an uncontrolled manner. There are three main chemistries in deposits: carbonates (mainly calcium carbonates), silicates (metal silicates), and sulphides (antimony sulphide-stibnite). Energy harvesting is remarkably reduced out of the insulating nature of the deposit. Various actions need to be taken to mitigate this undesirable issue of scaling in geothermal systems. Geothermal systems are in fact quite complex, and the composition of brine and, …

The Monitoring of the Ganos Fault data presents significant opportunities and challenges for earthquake detection, location and magnitude calculations, source mechanism solutions, and discovery of fault zone waves. This study indicates mostly of preliminary data analysis and seismological evaluations. While narrow distance aperture installation has an opportunity to detect microearthquakes, it also causes significant difficulties in determining the source parameters of micro-earthquakes. Extracting microearthquakes from continuous data shows that special strategies need to be used. MONGAN data revealed the presence of many earthquakes with magnitude M<1.0 in the study region. These earthquakes are mostly out of network earthquakes and it is very difficult to obtain reliable solutions due to the insufficient azimuthal distribution of the stations. It is obvious that different network techniques and wave particle motion analyzes are contributed to the location and source parameters. Although the fault zone structure consists of two different lithologies that make significant differences in seismic wave phase arrival times and wave amplitudes, we observe fault zone head waves on both sides along the Ganos fault. Moment tensor analyzes depict that reliable source mechanism solutions can be obtained using a small number of station records.
