Geology and opportunities of Çiçekdaği-Mahmutlu (Kirşehir) geothermal field

The study area is located approximately 31 km northeast of Kırşehir. There are three natural springs in the area north of Mahmutlu village that come to the surface. In order to reveal the potential of the geothermal field in its vicinity, 2 geothermal research drillings were carried out at the determined anomaly points. The first of the drillings was completed at CM-1 at 331.20 meters and the second at CM-2 at 1149.00 meters. Water was obtained at 73.2 °C in CM-1 and 76.5 °C in CM-2. Acceptable values between 88-94 °C were found in geothermometer applications made in spring and drilling waters in the study area. Well temperatures were found suitable for greenhouse heating and greenhouse models suitable for these geothermal temperature values were started to be researched. Soilless tomato production is planned in the greenhouse to be established in the region.
