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.

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 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.
