We detonated a nuclear weapon to make oil wells produce more.

It works. The problem is that the oil is radioactive as frick and completely useless because burning radioactive as frick oil turns it into radioactive as frick smoke.

Nuclear detonations can solve many problems, not just this one.

Project Plowshare

I'm pretty sure the actual detonations dealing with well stimulation were the Gasbuggy series.

I got mixed up, though. It was gas stimulation, not oil. Basically, they were fracking with nuclear weapons.
