Multilayered models have been used by a number of investigators to represent heterogeneous reservoirs. The purpose of this note is to present waterflood performance for multilayered systems using the standard Dykstra-Parsons method as method as compared with that predicted by the modified form using equations given and those obtained by using a numerical model. The predicted oil recovery, using Johnson charts or the standard Dykstra-Parsons recovery modulus chart is always conservative, if not overly pessimistic. The modified Dykstra-Parsons method, as explained in the text, shows good agreement with the numerical model.
