Treatment of hydrocarbon-bearing carbonate or sand formations with a solution of hydrochlorine acid and other chemicals to increase production. The acid is forced under pressure into the formation where it enlarges the floor channels by dissolving the formation. 6, record 1, English, - acidizing
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Acidizing. Varied volumes of hydrochloric acid are used in limestone and dolomite or other acid-soluble formations to dissolve the existing flow-channel walls and enlarge them ... High-pressure equipment, pumps, and wellheads are necessary for satisfactory performance. Fast pumping speeds and acid inhibitors are used to alleviate corrosion of the well equipment. 2, record 1, English, - acidizing

Procédé de stimulation par injection d'acide dans une roche carbonatée (calcaire, dolomie, etc.) au sein d'un gisement d'hydrocarbure en vue d'améliorer la perméabilité de la roche productive et de faciliter l'accès au gaz ou au pétrole. 2, record 1, French, - acidification
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Dans un puits apte à produire du pétrole (ou du gaz), ou dans un puits productif, c'est une opération comprise dans les procédés dits de stimulation. Le but en est d'améliorer la perméabilité de la roche productive autour du puits afin de faciliter l'accès du pétrole ou du gaz dans ce dernier (par réduction des pertes de charge). L'action de l'acide se manifeste surtout à partir de la fissuration de la roche qu'elle nettoie et élargit. Cette technique de stimulation est plus particulièrement efficace dans les roches calcaires. On utilise en général l'acide chlorhydrique et aussi l'acide fluorhydrique. Ces acides sont dilués dans de l'eau et un inhibiteur de corrosion pour éviter la détérioration des matériels et de l'équipement des puits. 3, record 1, French, - acidification
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Si le débit de pétrole se révèle insuffisant par suite du manque de perméabilité de la roche, on peut l'améliorer par acidification (injection d'acide chlorhydrique dans le puits) ou par perforation (projectiles tirés latéralement par un canon spécial descendu au fond). 4, record 1, French, - acidification

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The buffering capacity is the capability to neutralize acidity and thus is dependent on the capacity to supply bases capable of neutralizing acids. The buffering capacity increases in thicker and more alkaline soils. The more naturally acidic and coarse the soil, the more sensitive it is to natural and anthropogenic acidification. 2, record 2, English, - acidification

Modification de l'équilibre acido-basique naturel d'un écosystème par suite d'une augmentation, d'origine anthropique, de sa concentration en acide. 3, record 2, French, - acidification
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Règle générale, dans le domaine des pluies acides, le terme «acidification» sans déterminant suffit pour rendre la notion. On emploie des déterminants comme «anthropogène» ou «anthropique» quand on veut opposer l'acidification qui résulte des activités humaines à l'acidification qui se produit naturellement (acidification naturelle). 4, record 2, French, - acidification
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le déterminant «anthropogénique», calqué sur l'anglais «anthropogenic», est malheureusement beaucoup plus employé, dans le domaine des pluies acides, que son synonyme correct «anthropique». Il faut dénoncer l'emploi de «anthropogénique» et tenir pour suspect, malgré l'attestation du Larousse (voir Grand Larousse Encyclopédique, 1969, vol. 1, p. 447), l'emploi de «anthropogène». 4, record 2, French, - acidification

Acidification. After an exceptionally hot summer, grapes may have too little acid, resulting in a flat and tasteless wine. This may be corrected ... by adding to the must either a small amount of tartaric acid ... or the less mature - and therefore more acid - grapes from a late flowering of the vine; or by blending with high-acid wines. 1, record 4, English, - acidification
