“Being far below the water table tends to make a difference.”

This sounds great, actually, and I’m praying they pull it off.

Question, however: Being below the water table, what’s the chances of combustion combining with water to make steam under pressure resulting in rapid expansion of the same somewhere else?

I imagine they’ve already thought of this.

I am not familiar with their specific details.

But I do know something similar is done with coal in several locations. And that oil companies sometimes handle production from fields at up to 10,000 psi.
