Power-Efficient Geothermal Pumps Boost Zero-Carbon Electricity Generation in Turkey
Zorlu Enerji, Turkey's leading geothermal investor, has awarded Schlumberger a contract for 14 additional REDA Thermal power-efficient geothermal electric submersible pumps (ESPs) to increase zero-carbon electricity generation at its Kızıldere geothermal power facility. The first high-volume and high-horsepower REDA Thermal pump was installed at the Kızıldere facility in July, and the initial boost attributable to the pump is over 1.7 megawatts (MW) of zero-carbon electricity. The award includes initiation of digital services for ESP monitoring and surveillance. The REDA Thermal pumps are designed specifically to meet the requirements of high-enthalpy geothermal wells. The technology was developed leveraging expertise from GeothermEx, a Schlumberger multidisciplinary geothermal consulting and services company.
