【 摘 要 】

Petroleum, a type of fossil fuels, is made up of the words "petra" meaning stone in Latin and "oleum" meaning oil (Petra oleum = Petrol) and it is Petroleum is English. Due to the growing population in the world, dependence on oil continues despite the search for clean and sustainable alternative energy sources. Just like all fossil-based energy sources, it is a fact that the use of oil causes air pollution, indirectly pollution of land and water resources, and the most important problem of today, global warming. Oil spills are one of the causes of this pollution. Natural and artificial oil spills cause oil pollution and cause damage that is difficult to recycle in the environment. Petroleum poses a serious risk to water resources in the pre-use phase. In this study; it will be investigated whether there is any pollutant effect on the fresh water resources in the pre-use stages of oil exploration, production, transportation, processing and storage. As a research area, Diyarbakir Province, which is located in the north of the Upper Mesopotamian Basin, where all phases (systems) before use such as exploration, production, transmission, storage and treatment (refining) are found altogether. Almost all of the oil production in Turkey is provided from the South-eastern Anatolia Region. With daily crude oil production, Diyarbakir is the second largest producer of crude oil after Batman. In Diyarbakir province there are 42 Oil Fields operated by various oil producers and over 260 Oil Wells are located in these fields. In the scope of this study; In Diyarbakir province, active or inactive oil fields and their locations will be determined and their impact areas will be determined. Underground and surface water resources (existing wells, streams and natural and artificial lakes) being in the impact area will be identified and their locations will be processed on the map. Samples will be taken from the water sources along with the field study. Physical and chemical analyzes of the samples will be performed. In this context, it will be investigated whether there are any petroleum components in the water resources and in what stage and where the pollution before the consumption occurs.
