The Krafla geothermal power plant consists of two 30-megawatt units, with double pressure inlet and dual-flow turbines with 5 steps on each side. It takes its energy from 17 high-pressure production wells with 110 kg/second of 7.7 bar and, due to new technologies, 5 low-pressure production wells with 36 kg/s of 2.2 bar.
The highest concentrations are located in the Mayacamas Mountains and Imperial Valley of California, as well as in Western Nevada. The first geothermal area to be exploited for commercial electricity generation was The Geysers , a complex of 22 geothermal power stations located in Sonoma and Lake counties of California , which was commissioned ...

The geothermal production well reached a depth of 5,275 m (17,306 ft) and the fluid injection well 2,393 m (7,851 ft). [ 3 ] [ 1 ] Between August 2020 and July 2021, the wells underwent a series of injection tests to analyse the hydrology within the fractured geothermal reservoir.
The geothermal water is supplied by five production wells and injected by six injection wells. There is a program to add three new production wells. [1] The depth of wells is 4,000–8,000 feet (1,200–2,400 m). [2] The technology was supplied by Ormat Technologies. [1] [2] The well drilling contractors were ThermaSource and Ensign. The piping ...
Geothermal exploration wells rarely exceed 4 km in depth. Subsurface materials associated with geothermal fields range from limestone to shale , volcanic rocks and granite . [ 1 ] Most drilled geothermal exploration wells, up to the production well, are still considered to be within the exploration phase.
As of 2007 plant construction and well drilling cost about €2–5 million per MW of electrical capacity, while the break-even price was 0.04–0.10 € per kW·h. [10] Enhanced geothermal systems tend to be on the high side of these ranges, with capital costs above $4 million per MW and break-even above $0.054 per kW·h.
The Geysers is the world's largest geothermal field, containing a complex of 18 geothermal power plants, drawing steam from more than 350 wells, located in the Mayacamas Mountains approximately 72 miles (116 km) north of San Francisco, California. Geysers produced about 20% of California's renewable energy in 2019. [4]
