PRESSURE BUILDUP MONITORING OF THE KRAFLA GEOTHERMAL FIELD, ICELAND
A break in electrical power generation from the Krafla geothermal plant was planned from beginning of May to early September 1984. Early in June most of the production wells were shutin and their pressure recovery monitored. A regular monitoring of the pressure buildup was carried out on a well to w...
