Abstract A comprehensive modeling study of the Krafla geothermal field in Iceland has been carried out. The study consists of four task: the analysis of well test data, modeling of the natural state of the field, the determination of the generating capability of the field, and modeling of well performance. The results of all four tasks are consistent with field observations.
