Description
Summary:Turkey is classified among the countries which have a high geothermal energy potential (Alpan, 1974). Geological and geophysical exploration is continuing in promising areas. However primary emphasis has been given to Western Anatolia during the last decade. As a result of these efforts Kizildere field was developed and a power plant put into operation on February 14, 1984. This paper summarizes the power plant and production problems encountered in wells during 1984 and future field development plans.
