Application Notes:
 

acidizing


is the treatment of underground oil-bearing formations with acid in order to increase production. Hydrochloric or other acid is injected into the formation and held there under pressure until it etches the rock, thereby enlarging the pore spaces and passages through which the oil flows. The acid is then pumped out and the well is swabbed and put back into production.
