Planning and operations directive, Gasbuggy: 1973 production testing program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4425692

BS>The purpose of the 1973 Gasbuggy testing program was to determine whether the reservoir characteristics have changed with time, i.e., 40 months after shut-in. Gasbuggy was detonated on Dec. 10, 1967 as an experiment to evaluate the feasibility of natural gas production stimulation using nuclear explosives. The postshot reentry and initial production testing phase occurred in 1968 and 1969. The planning, organization, operating procedures, management, and funding of the 1973 production testing program are presented. (LCL)
