The Balcova region is ≈ 7 km from the Centrum of the Izmir province, located in the western<br />

part of Turkey, and is endowed with considerably rich geothermal resources. The Izmir–<br />

Balcova geothermal field (IBGF) covers a total area of about 3.5 km2 with an average<br />

thickness of the aquifer horizon of 150 m, as can be seen in Figure 13 [76]. Assuming that no<br />

feeding will occur and 25% of the fluid contained in the reservoir will be utilized, this field has<br />

a maximum yield of 810 m 3 /h at a reservoir temperature of 118 ºC [77].
