Fig. 1. Dual-layer well schematic

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle q = q_1 + q_2\end{array}$

(2)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle p_{wf} = p_e - q/J\end{array}$

(3)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle J = J_1 + J_2\end{array}$

(4)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle p_e = \frac{J_1 \cdot p_1 + J_2 \cdot p_2}{J_1 + J_2}\end{array}$

where

$\begin{array}{l}q\end{array}$	total subsurface flowrate of the well
$\begin{array}{l}J\end{array}$	total well productivity Index
$\begin{array}{l}p_e\end{array}$	apparanet formation pressure of dual-layer formation
$\begin{array}{l}q_1\end{array}$	total subsurface flowrate of the Layer #1
$\begin{array}{l}p_1\end{array}$	formation pressure of the Layer #1
$\begin{array}{l}J_1\end{array}$	productivity Index of the Layer #1
$\begin{array}{l}q_2\end{array}$	total subsurface flowrate of the Layer #2
$\begin{array}{l}p_2\end{array}$	formation pressure of the Layer #2
$\begin{array}{l}J_2\end{array}$	productivity Index of the Layer #2

The above equations are valid for both producers and injectors.
