The Çıralı (Yanartaş) gas seepage system is associated with the Tekirova Ophiolite within the Antalya Nappes in southwestern Türkiye. The Antalya Nappes are an allochthonous nappe stack tectonically emplaced onto the Beydağları Relative Autochthon and include major structural units such as the Tekirova Ophiolite, ophiolitic mélange, Tahtalıdağ Nappe, and Alakırçay Nappe. This tectonostratigraphic architecture brought ultramafic rocks to near-surface levels. The Tekirova Ophiolite is a multistage oceanic lithosphere slice represented by harzburgitic tectonites, ultramafic–mafic cumulates, isotropic gabbros, and dikes. The crustal rocks record island-arc tholeiitic, low-Ti boninitic, and locally OIB-like magma series, supporting Late Cretaceous supra-subduction-zone/forearc development. Ophitic–subophitic textures, LILE enrichment, and HFSE depletion in diabase and metasomatized dikes are also consistent with the influence of subduction-derived fluids [34]. Comparable trends in southeastern Anatolian ophiolites provide only a regional comparison and do not directly demonstrate the origin of Çıralı gas.
