AN EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR COMPUTATION OF WELL RESPONSES IN COMMINGLED RESERVOIRS
An algorithm to compute pressure distributions in commingled reservoirs that are produced by complex, completion systems is described. We show that single-layer solutions for systems of interest can be readily combined to obtain pressure distributions in commingled reservoirs for combinations of rock types. Completion schemes and outer-boundary conditions for each layer may be different. Theoretical claims are substantiated by considering example applications.
