Iceland Geothermal Project Completes Deep Drilling In Volcano
Earlier this year the Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) at the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland completed drilling at a depth of 4.659 kilometers where it recorded temperatures of 427 degrees Celsius The drilling, which began in August 2016, created the deepest volcanic borehole ever. Geologists and engineers aim to find if the so-called supercritical fluid - a condition in which water is so deep in the ground that it is neither liquid nor gas - can be used for efficient energy production.
