Early during Experiment 2042, flow communication was established between the high-pressure injection interval below the liner in EE-3, and the low-pressure fracture zone between the casing and the liner (the latter region being open to the annulus.) As Experiment 2042 progressed, it became apparent that this flow connection was not via a packer leak or a direct bypass around the cemented-in liner. This was inferred from the very slow pressure equilibration behavior of the flow connection under shut-in conditions, implying that the communication was through a relatively high impedance flow path more typical of a fracture connection or connections.
