...Canyon, thus releasing gas that is tightly locked within the rock. 35-Story Cavity. Ordinarily, gas is obtained simply by drilling a well into a formation of gas-bearing rock. Natural underground pressures then force the gas through pores in the rock into the well casing, enabling producers to tap large natural-gas reserves with relatively few wells. In large areas of New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Arizona, however, much of the natural gas is held in relatively nonporous rock that prevents the flow of all but small quantities of gas into wells, making them uneconmical to drill...
Gasbuggy really is. After drilling a well to the top of the chimney, they will tap off gas freed by the explosion and test it for radioactivity. If the radioactive contamination is low enough for the gas to be usable without extensive -and expensive-purification, and if the gas continues to flow into the well in volume, the U.S. may well be on its way to tapping the 300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas now tightly locked beneath the surface of the earth...
...Bigelow founded what has become one of the nation's biggest oceanographic centers, a vast complex at Woods Hole, Mass., that has charted the Gulf Stream, explained tricks of sonar to the U.S. Navy, now maps the ocean's floor and searches out ways to tap the vast underwater food potential...
