Bjarni Gunnar Guðmundsson
Drilling Superintendent
Bjarni has extensive experience in geothermal drilling, beginning his career in 1979 with offshore oil & gas drilling in California, in the US. Following this, Bjarni worked with Jarðboranir hf. (Iceland Drilling Company Ltd.) in 1981 as a Drilling Specialist & Consultant. His work involved drilling for geothermal -- working with temperatures ranging from 50 to 450 °C, directional drilling, coring, and water well drilling.

The aim of these projects was to find critical temperatures right here in Iceland. IDDP 1 was drilled into magma, at 2100 meters, at Krafla power plant, and IDDP 2 was drilled at Reykjanes power plant, measuring temperatures around 450 C°. Other countries Bjarni has worked in include the Açores to drill water and geothermal wells, New Zealand to drill geothermal wells for MRP, and the US to drill for oil & gas.
