Fig. 1. Example of log-derivative P' (in red) along with pressure drop P (in blue) for a typical DTR presented on PTA type-library log-log plot

Note

In Well Testing applications the logarithmic derivative is often denoted as

LaTeX Math Inline

body	p' = t \, \frac{dp}{d t}

which is misnomer as the usual mathematical convention for prime " ' " is the regular Derivative with respect to the argument

LaTeX Math Inline

body	p' = \frac{dp}{d t}
