There are two special reservoir flow regimes which are both stabilised and maintain constant flow rate:  

...

  •  

and 


The Steady State flow regime (SS) is reached when the flow is stabilised with the full pressure support at the external boundary.

...

The Pseudo-steady State flow regime (PSS) is reached when the flow is stabilised with no pressure support at the external boundary.


In both above cases, the drawdown and flow rate will stay constant upon productivity stabilisation.


As for formation The formation pressure

in PSS they will be synchronously varying while in SS they will be staying constant.

It's again important to avoid confusion between the term:
