GO WITH THE FLOW: THE EVOLVEMENT OF GEOTHERMAL WELLHEAD MAINTENANCE AT THE
Iceland relies greatly on geothermal energy, for electricity, district heating and industrial activities. It is therefore of great importance that the maintenance on site is carried out quite successfully to minimize down time. Reykjavik Energy is the largest energy company in Iceland utilizing geot...
