Abstract :There are also geothermal areas of low and medium enthalpy besides the high-temperature geothermal fields in the Western Anatolia. These areas are important for thermal tourism and agricultural applications. According to the surface temperature at by the lowtemperature action for known fluid high temperature fluid can be provided. They are the purpose of the study. The study area between the towns of Mendere and Seferihisar. These districts are located south-southwest of Izmir. İnvestigate the potential of geothermal energy and fluid provide covers more than one professional discipline. Field studies, geological prospecting, geothermal energy potential areas detailed geological studies, hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, geophysical surveys and drilling completed. As a result of studies, conducted exploratory drilling to a depth of 1215.50 m around Akyar Tepe. Maximum temperature of 141,18 oC in the well. Fluid flow rate of 104 tons/hour water and water vapor is obtained with compressor machine. Hot water, sodium chloride water category. It consists of a mixture of hot water, surface water and sea water. In this field for many years, known as low-temperature. In this study, medium - high enthalpy geothermal system as revealed
