Water was pumped into EE-2 at a nominal rate of 9gpm, to a final pressure of 2070 psi. The wellbore was exceptionally tight we might just have well pumped into a steel pressure vessel not only was there no evidence of breakdown, but only a total of about 30 gallons of water permeated the rock during the 2-1/2 hour-long pressurization.
