Investigating Tarsus’s geothermal and hydroelectric energy potential.
The Tarsus Geothermal and Hydroelectric R&D Projects encompass research, measurement and drilling activities aimed at determining the energy potential of the region’s underground heat, rivers and water resources.
Data obtained through geological and geophysical investigations, hydrological measurements, field surveys and drilling activities are evaluated collectively to establish a reliable technical knowledge base for assessing the development potential of renewable energy investments.
Technical Project Scope
Multidisciplinary R&D studies on natural energy resources
The geological and hydrological characteristics of the Tarsus region are examined through field data, engineering analyses and exploration drilling to assess the quality of its geothermal and hydroelectric resources.
Geological and Geophysical Surveys
Rock units, fault systems and underground formations are investigated, while geophysical measurements are used to assess the location, depth and structural characteristics of potential reservoirs.
Exploration and Research Drilling
Drilling programmes are planned at locations identified through technical investigations to collect data on temperature, pressure, flow rate, fluid properties and underground formations.
Hydrological Studies
River flow rates, catchment characteristics, seasonal flow variations and potential hydraulic head values are examined to assess the resource potential for hydroelectric energy generation.
Resource Characterisation
Findings obtained from drilling, measurements and sample analyses are used to determine the temperature, flow rate, chemical composition, continuity and potential uses of the resources.
Technical Potential Assessment
Research findings are comprehensively evaluated in terms of potential energy generation models, technical infrastructure requirements, environmental conditions and investment development potential.

R&D Approach
From field investigations to reliable technical data
Transforming geothermal and hydroelectric resources into energy investments depends on accurately investigating site conditions, measuring resource behaviour and evaluating the resulting data through multiple engineering disciplines.
In its activities in the Tarsus region, KTM Group brings together geology, geophysics, hydrogeology, hydrology and energy engineering within a unified research model. This approach helps reduce technical uncertainties surrounding the resources and supports the establishment of a reliable foundation for decision-making on potential future projects.
