Experiment 2061 was an unsuccessful attempt to hydraulically connect wells EE-3A and EE-2 by injecting water into the rock below an open hole packer set at 12,555 ft. In an earlier, more successful attempt, Experiment 2059, conducted at the end of May 1985, the packer had been set at 11,537 ft. In a later attempt, Experiment 2062, conducted July 20-23, 1985, the packer was set at 11,970 ft. and again a successful connection was obtained. Despite the fact that a connection was not obtained in the present experiment, the results obtained are significant because of the information they provide about well logs, fracture pressures, seismicity, and reservoir characterization.
