SUMMARY Krafla is an active volcanic field and a high-temperature geothermal system in northeast Iceland. As part of a program to produce more energy from higher temperature wells, the IDDP-1 well was drilled in 2009 to reach supercritical fluid conditions below the Krafla geothermal field. However,...
