Book Description
The present report describes the technical and economic potentials of gas stimulation by nuclear explosives. It is part of a larger study of Plowshare whose principal aim is to analyze, on the basis of all available technological information, the economic consequences which various Plowshare projects would entail. The present report shows that there exists a sufficiently firm body of information which will have to be enlarged and improved by experiments specifically related to gas stimulation to confirm the statement that gas stimulation can become one of the first technically and economically feasible applications of the peaceful uses of nuclear explosives. From this study it appears that gas stimulation can be applied with profit in existing tight gas fields which can not be exploited with conventional techniques. The study further states that if the existing body of information is confirmed, the peaceful application of nuclear explosives would increase the United States recoverable natural gas resources by amounts greatly in excess of known supplies. Specifically, it appears that the increase would extend the present supply of gas by adding a supply of at least 18 years. The true figure might in fact exceed 55 years additional supplies, even allowing for a substantial annual increase in demand by the United States economy.

General Report on the Economics of the Peaceful Uses of Underground Nuclear Explosions
Author: Oskar Morgenstern
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nuclear energy
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The Plowshare program of the Atomic Energy Commission sets forth to put nuclear explosives to peaceful, economic use. The present report evaluates the major fields of application proposed up to now for such explosives. They are the stimulation of gas and oil reservoirs, production of shale oil, applications to mining, cratering, and a list of various other projects, among them storage of natural gas, waste disposal and water resource management.

Book Description
Project Rulison is a joint experiment sponsored by the CER Geonuclear Corporation (CER) of Las Vegas, Nevada and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) as part of the Plowshare Program. Its purpose is to study the economic and technical feasibility of using multiple underground nuclear explosion to stimulate production of natural gas from deeply buried low productivity gas-bearing formations of the Piceance Basin in Northwestern Colorado.
