Nuclear gas boom plan aims to crack Northwest NM field
A briefing in the Civic Auditorium outlined the Peace Bomb project known as Gasbuggy. The planned underground nuclear detonation four thousand two hundred forty feet deep would fracture the well area creating a 160 by 350 foot chimney and radiating fractures to release sevenfold gas production. If successful it could add about 300 trillion cubic feet to U S proved reserves, potentially more than doubling current totals. The device equals 26 000 tons of TNT and sits in the water filled hole later cemented.
