The Svartsengi geothermal reservoir in Iceland is described and its production history presented. Lumped-parameter models for confined and unconfined reservoirs are derived, and a conceptual model of the reservoir suggested. Using depletion analysis, the dominant production mechanism is identified as drainage of an unconfined reservoir.
