Gasbuggy Preliminary Postshot

Abstract

This report summarizes some of the early, preliminary results from Project Gasbuggy in order to answer the many questions about this unique experiment. No definitive results are available which speak to the primary purpose of the experiment, namely the changes in the deliverability and ultimate recovery of the reservoir gas; these must await the detailed exploration and gas production tests. While every attempt has been made to present accurate data, it must be recognized that they are preliminary and subject to change. Thus the analysis of a complete set of data may point to inconsistencies in individual points which were unsuspected in an earlier analysis. Conclusions based on incomplete data may also turn out to be incorrect, and require correction or modification. The limitations inherent in the results presented here should therefore be clearly kept in mind.
