Sustainable Geothermal Water Management Project, Türkiye

GMK Energy has been awarded the “TR33 Region Geothermal Water Management Plan Project” tender managed by Zafer Development Agency with the support of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Industry and Technology.

Related to this, the TR33 Region Geothermal Water Management Plan Project kick-off meeting was held on February 27, 2024 at Zafer Development Agency Headquarters. Participating in the meeting were the GMK Energy and Zafer Development Agency General Secretariat, Kütahya Provincial Coordination Office, Usak Provincial Coordination Office, Afyon Provincial Coordination Office, and Manisa Provincial Coordination Office officials.

Within the scope of this project, GMK Energy’s multidisciplinary team will carry out a basin-based evaluation of geothermal potential in the geothermal fields in the TR33 Region which consists of Afyonkarahisar, Kütahya, Manisa and Usak provinces. Additional studies that need to be carried out for a better management reservoir model and the economic activities that will occur will be determined, and province, district and field-based management model suggestions will be presented.

The aim of the studies is to maximize the utilization of geothermal resources in the region and to extract the most efficient reservoir management models in a sustainable way with this project. The data obtained from the field will be processed and transformed into strategies, projects, and action plans.
