The more tests* that arc* made of the system of treating wells with hydrochloric acid for the purpose of Increasing the oil production through the spring up of the rook fissures by the chemical process of disintegration, the more evident docs It appear that the method 1* a success beyond the expertmental stage, says a Lima. (Ohio.) dispatch. That by this process production can h.. inrrensed where all other methods fall is now an assured fart which the most skeptical would have hard work to disbelieve. What the possibilities of the method are or how great a revolution It may bring nbom in the oil business In the Trenton rock fields time will best prove. Of course, It Is not claimed that oil ran be made to flow where wells make no .showing, but the promoters of. the acid treatment claim to be able to greatly Increase the production of wells which have, through age or other causes, fallen off. Weils which are located in good territory but which for reasons which the drill never satisfactorily discloses did not come in as large a* their location warranted, will, it Is thought, be especially helped by a treatment of hydrochloric acid.
