When predicting reservoir performance to include the effects of reservoir vertical heterogeneity, the reservoir is represented by a series of layers with no vertical communication (no cross-flow between layers).

 

Two Dykstra–Parsons methods are discussed in more detail in this section. Both of these methods use the Dykstra–Parsons heterogeneity index to describe the vertical permeability variation, as opposed to describing each layer's value of thickness, permeability, and porosity, as presented in the Dake-Welge and Craig-Geffen-Morse methods implemented in previous sections.
