Tuzla
Project Summary
The region around Tuzla is one of the most promising areas for geothermal power production in Turkey. Several geothermal research wells were drilled by MTA during the 70’s to 90’s confirming very high temperatures and artesian flow rates. The highest geothermal gradient was discovered in a 130 m well producing fluid at more than 160°C.
Geothermeon’s licenses are located near the explored fields and are expected to have similar geological conditions. Due to the granitic basement, the Tuzla region is a candidate for developing EGS/HFR projects, as well.
