CHEMISTRY AIDS OIL
PRODLICTION
More than four years have passed
since February, 9312, when a Dow
Chemical Truck, .carrying a tank load
of inhibited acid, lumbered up to Fox
Ni. an oft well in the Greendale
Pool. Nlic.higan, where -Dow and Pure
Oil Company engineers had gathered
to demonstrate for the first time the
pracitical acidization of an oil well to
increase its production.
• Since then about six thousand welts
have been treated, and they have
shown an average increase int produc-
tits.: 01.412%. The Dow truck has be-
come the forerunner of it chain oi
field stations . strategically placed
throughout the United States. These
stations, soinee of which are whhi11.
operating distance 'of Canadian fields,
are controlled . by Dowell 1neorpor-
atea, a subsidiary of the Dots Chemi-
cal Company. .Acidization has in-
creased the .1:niter! States oil produc-
tion an es.timated twenty million bar-
rylls• since its inception, and iMeentra
Michigan alone. one-sixt•h of the tital
output is the result of acidization
Such expansion has been astound
Ing when one considers the short time
that has elaped •sinee the practicability
c,f commercial acidization was- the -
first demonstrated, The extent to
which acidisation has been reeogni-
zed by She oil industry1Mkes it one
of the leading contributions (if chem-
istry to industry. To the Dow Chem-
COITIPanY goes 1110,t of the credit
for the- development of successful pro-
cesses.
Several years ago the late Herbert
14, Dow experimented. with bottles of
acid lowered into brine wells, but the
results were not altogether satisfat-
tory due to the corrosion of the inetal
well easing. In 11021S. when the in -
creased production of brine, fron
which the Bow •Chemical Company
gets many of its basic Materials. be
came impOrtant. it was found, after
further experiment. that an inhibitor
acid would prevent corrosion of the
metal parts of the .wel.1 and gives at
isfaetory results. Various inhibitors
were tried, but subsequently the or
ganic type proved the most seceessin
and are now the only kind 11,4,1.
Acidivation of oil wells is based oi
the fact that the acid dissolves por
tions of the producing formation
thus- enlarging the pore, and openings
and resulting.' in a (mire abundant
flow- of oil into the well from stir-
romiding reservoirs. For
purposes, inhibited hydrochloric acid
is a 'seitable solvent, but where rock
formations are such that penetration
and reaction are slower, hydrochloric
acid strengthened with other acids is
used.
.Dead oil is used to f,:irce the acid
into the well and to control the level
at whits]] it enters the pores. This sy-
stem was developed hy R. H. Carr of
the Pure Oil Company. Sudcessiul
treatmens is, of course. more compli-
cated than simply dumping the acid
into the well and following this with
oil to force it down.
Potatoes For Seed
.\II growers of seed. whether it be
seed grain. vegetable -seed, or any
other kind of seed, should endeavour
to procluce seed of superior quality
by starting with the most suitable
varieties and strain, and selecting the
very best seed far their own plant-
ine. In the production of. seed pots
-
toes, there is much room Inc improve-
ment and all too frequently bruised -
damaged. -mall off -type, or otherwise
inferior left-twer potatoes are planted,
particularly. if prices have been allur-
ing. Actual selection of superior
strains of potatoes is apparently 1101

amental to success and yet the seed

really high quality cattle and other
live stock, and would not for a mom-
ent think of using the same tactics in
their breeding programs Why then.

to The .production of high quality seed

The Seed Potato !Certification Ser-
vice has been advocating such a sys-
tem for many years with varying suc-
cess. It is true, that •diseases have
been controlled, or methods for their
control practised. but that is no the
whole story. 'An effort should be
made by every seed potato grower.
through selection, to produce stock,
which in addition to being more or
less free ifrorn serious diseases, is al-
so apparently disease resistant. Good
seed should 'be true to type, high
yieldin.g, and of good appearance.
That is to say, tuber shape, colour of
skin and eye characters •should all be
considered' and an effort made to cull
any not conforming to a •certain set
