SUPERPOSITION PRINCIPLE
o Superposition principle is being defined as “ the
total pressure drop at any point in the reservoir
is the sum of the pressure drops at that point
caused by flow in each of the wells in the
reservoir”.
o This principle can be illustrated for case of more
than one wellS in the reservoir.
APPLICATIONS
o There are two main applications of superposition
principle:-
1) Super position of multiple well

2) Bounded reservoir
DIAGRAM
EXPLANATION
o There are three wells A,B,C that start to produce
at same time from the reservoir.
o Consider that:-
BOUNDED RESERVOIR
o Here we study the influence of the pressure
behavior in the bounded reservoir.
o Diagram
EXPLANATION
o Consider the well as shown in the fig that is at a
distance L from single no flow boundary.
o Mathematically, this problem is identical to the
problem of two well system; actual well and
image well.
EXPLANATION
o Consider this
