Gasbuggy Project Aims to Unlock Gas via Atomic Blast
The Gasbuggy detonation in northwestern New Mexico marks a peacetime nuclear test under the Atomic Energy Commission’s Operation Plowshare. A 26 kiloton underground explosion will fracture the Pictured Cliffs formation to release natural gas, with cementing by Halliburton and no surface blast visible to observers. The venture, backed by El Paso Natural Gas Co and the AEC, seeks to prove whether atomic explosions can unlock tight oil and gas deposits for future use.
