Abstract
General analytical solutions are presented for the pressure behavior of the MDT Packer Module and observation packer-probe in layered (laminated) reservoirs with formation crossflow. These solutions are also applicable to the pressure behavior of partially penetrated wells in layered reservoirs and are particularly useful for the interpretation of DST tests. The reflection and transmission method is used to solve the single-phase fluid flow equation in an infinite anisotropic reservoir, which consists of horizontal layers with crossflow. The solutions are applicable to any possible combination of no-flow, constant-pressure, and infinitely thick layer conditions at the top and bottom boundaries. The advantages of this solution technique are that it always gives solutions with good numerical convergence properties. Indeed, a new computationally efficient analytical solution for a partially penetrated well in a single-layer reservoir is presented. The wellbore storage due to the chamber and flow lines volume and skin effects are included. The pressure variations along the length of the well are taken into account by the use of pressure averaging. It is shown that if the system has only a few layers, it exhibits the transient characteristic features of the system. If the number of layers increases substantially, the system's behavior may
