The Americans actually tried that with some gas reserves, and as expected nuclear fracking increased yields, but radioactive gas.

So they’re the only country who has nukes themselves for economic reasons…

Unless you count sealing gas field blowouts, which was apparently done five times and one time for methane blowout, and lots of other test explosions like geological exploration.

  Are those economic reasons? Or disaster management?

    39 explosions for geological exploration (trying to find new natural gas deposits by studying seismic waves produced by small nuclear explosions)
    
    25 explosions to intensify oil and gas debits
    
    22 explosions to create underground storage for natural gas
    
    Does this sound like disaster management?
