...surrounding rock should flow into the well over a 20-year period, cotnpared with only 10% that would be recovered by hydraulic fracturing or nitroglycerin blasting. Within a minute after the searing blast formed a 160-ft.-diameter cavity in the earth, they calculate, the roof of the cavity should Save begun to collapse (TIME, Nov. 3), eventually forming a chimney of fractured rock as tall as a 35-story building. In addition, cracks should have radtiated out for hundreds of feet beyond the chimney, providing routes for gas; flow...
