Nuclear device aids gas recovery in New Mexico
In Farmington New Mexico the Gasbuggy test released a thermonuclear blast 4240 feet underground to create an underground chamber for potential gas recovery. Officials estimate a 160 foot diameter chamber 3500 feet deep could double natural gas reserves if viable. Dr. Thalgott and Dr. Reynolds outlined no radioactivity release and drilling to begin as researchers await weeks or months for results. The project cost 4.7 million dollars and is sponsored by the AEC El Paso Natural Gas Co and the U S Bureau of Mines.
