A novel gelling agent for hydrochloric acid is evaluated through field tests. Increased formation conductivity and live acid penetration depth is reflected by sustained improvements in production after the treatments. The advantages of this new gelling agent are its stability in high concentrations of hydrochloric acid (28 percent) to 300 F. over a range of temperatures up Comparisons with ungelled acid and acid treatments using other gelling agents are presented. These case histories are in West Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana and other parts of the country.
