Wade Watkins and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appreciable difference between producible proved reserves and ultimate reserves and resources of hydrocarbon deposits is of such magnitude that much petroleum, natural gas, shale oil, and bitumen will not be produced unless significant technological progress is made in production techniques. The shattering effect of contained nuclear explosives and, to a lesser extent, the heat produced, have been considered as stimulative forces when the thickness, depth, and nature of such deposits permit considering the use of nuclear devices. The technical feasibility of using nuclear explosives cannot be evaluated fully at present. Additional information is needed on the effects of pressure, heat, and radioactivity on the solids and fluids of hydrocarbon deposits, the nature and extent of induced fractures in different rock media, and the possibility of isolating and confining or removing radioactive contaminants. Final technical feasibility can only be determined by a field test. If technical feasibility is established, economic feasibility will depend upon the comparative cost of producing hydrocarbons by nuclear explosives and by conventional means. It is probable that an economic comparison would favor nuclear stimulation only where devices of relatively high yield could be used practicably and safely. (Author).

This book was released on 1967 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: From National Technical Canadian Gas Association; Calgary, Alberta, Canada (17 Oct 1973). The technical bases of the emerging technology of nuclear stimulation of natural gas fields, the potential of this method for increasing the gas supply of the US, and public issues related to this technology are discussed. A technical appendix is provided with information on: reservoir producing characteristics; explosive design, availability, and cost; firing and space of explosives; economic parameters; and tabulated statistics on past and current projects on nuclear stimulation.

Download or read book Possible Techniques for Decontamination of Natural Gas from Gas Wells Stimulated by a Nuclear Explosion written by and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decontamination of the products from gas wells stimulated by nuclear explosions requires the removal of T, present as HT, CH3T, C2H5T, etc., and Kr85 from the production stream. Flaring of large volumes of gas from the Gasbuggy well led to the replacement of radioactive cavity gas with inactive formation gas, but this would not be a satisfactory production procedure because it releases T and Kr85 into the atmosphere and wastes large amounts of product gas. Exchange reactions appear to offer promise for removing the tritium. For example, water or steam flowing countercurrent to tritiated gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst can participate in the exchange reactions CH3T + H2O = CH4 + HTO, and HT + H2O = H2 + HTO, resulting in the transfer of T from gas into water. Other possibilities for utilizing exchange reactions include exchange of the gas with ethylene glycol used in the gas dryer, with silicate rocks introduced into the gas stream, or with a countercurrent stream of NH3 or H2S. As another approach, use of the contaminated gas for the manufacture of ammonia synthesis gas has potential for removal of both T and Kr85.
