The Nلmafjall High Temperature System, NE Iceland; Chemical Characteristics of the Fluid for a Power Plant

Drilling commenced in the Bjarnarflag field of the Nلmafjall high temperature area in 1963. The first wells were shallow and some were destroyed in the Krafla Fires (1975 to 1984). At present six production wells are available in the area for a proposed 45 MWe power plant, and more wells will be drilled in the near future. The well fluid has low mineral and gas contents and is well suited for a power plant.
