Project Rulison was designed to use underground nuclear technology to determine the potential of this technique for commercial development of the deep, thick lenticular, low permeability, Mesaverde Formation of the Rulison Field in Garfield County, Colorado. Since discovery in 1952, this reservior has been tested by nine widely-spaced conventionally completed wells. A method of stimulation, far greater in magnitude and efficience than conventional hydrolic fracturing, is needed to recover this gas at economic rates.
