Geothermal Surface Exploration in Iceland
2010
The paper describes in a general way what kind of surface studies are carried out in Iceland in exploration of our geothermal high temperature fields. It is outlined what is required to engage in a complete exploration work in a new greenfield geothermal resource area. At present, this is usually what is needed to fulfil the requirements to apply for, or receive, exploitation rights in a geothermal area. The aim of the work is based on three main components. • The recognition of possible geothermal resources to develop. • The geo-scientific work needed to estimate its size and potential. • The project development work needed to be able to carry out the exploration, plan for the exploitation and estimate it’s feasibility.
