| Summary: | A long-term reinjection test is now underway in the Laugaland geothermal system in N-Iceland, the Brst such project undertaken in an Icelandic low-temperature area. The Laugaland system is embedded in low-permeability fractured basalts and its productivity is limited by insuficient recharge. More than suficient t h e m 1 energy is, however, in-place in the 90- 100 "C hot rocks of the system. The purpose of the reinjection project is to extract some of this thermal energy and to dmonstrate that energy production from fractured tow-temperature geothermal systems may be increaseif by reinjection. The Laugaland reinjection test is a cooperative project involving a few companies and institutions in
