Companies are targeting the area because of rising helium prices. A recent state permit for helium fracking on nearby non-federal lands authorized acid stimulation on about 80 wells. During that ...

Acidization, another dangerously extreme fossil fuel extraction technique, is similar to fracking but employs hydrofluoric or hydrochloric acid to dissolve rock in order to release oil and gas.

While matrix acidizing is done at a low enough pressure to keep from fracturing the reservoir rock, fracture acidizing involves pumping highly pressurized acid into the well, physically fracturing ...

{1000} = \frac{25.0 × 0.3}{1000}\)= 0.0075 mol moles of sulfuric acid = \(\frac{0.0075}{2}\)= 0.00375 mol (as 2:1 ratio of NaOH:H 2 SO 4) Rearranging the equation above gives:\(volume = \frac ...
