Abstract
An injectivity test consists of continuously injecting a phase (water or gas) into an oil-saturated reservoir during a period. According to the analysis of the wellbore pressure behavior, this procedure estimates reservoir parameters, such as permeability and skin factor, and the volume of recoverable oil. In this context, this study proposes an approximate analytical solution for the pressure behavior during a water injectivity test on a multilayer reservoir considering multiple injection flow rates. The accuracy of the proposed solution was evaluated through comparison with a commercial finite-difference-based flow simulator in different scenarios. The results indicate a considerable agreement between the data provided by the numerical simulator and the proposed model. In addition, we successfully estimated the equivalent reservoir permeability using the proposed model with satisfactory results.
