During this test PW-08A had the highest injectivity index that I have ever calculated. We had to repeat the gross permeability test just to confirm the earlier value and true enough the value was the same. Injectivity Index (II) estimates how productive a well is i.e how &ldquo;big&rdquo; a well is. As it turned out, it was confirmed when we discharged and tested the well. PW-08A is Paka&rsquo;s biggest well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name:&nbsp;Eng.
