To calculate the performance of all the other layers, in a multi layer reservoir that may differ in thickness, porosity, and permeability, the following calculation steps are applied.
1. |
Divide the reservoir into the required number of layers. |
|||||||
2. |
Calculate the performance of the base layer (layer n) from Start to Interference to Fillup to Water Breakthrough to End. |
|||||||
3. |
Obtain values of cumulative liquid volumes (NP, WP, Winj) and liquid rates (qo, qw, qwi) as a function of time t for the base layer (layer n). |
|||||||
4. |
For each layer, including the base layer n, calculate the following : ( k / f ), ( f . h ) and ( k . h ) |
|||||||
5. |
For each reporting timestep, the following is calculated for each layer i . Where, n = base layer, i = layer i, NP*, WP*, Winj* = volumes at t*, qo*, qw*, and qwi* =rates at t* |
|||||||
6. |
The composite multi layer performance at each reporting timestep t is obtained by the summation of all the individual layer values. |
The above calculation is only valid for reservoirs having equal initial gas saturation in each layer and insignificant producing rate prior to fillup.
