Implication that a total pressure 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyp(t, {\bf r})
in  at any point
LaTeX Math Inline
body{\bf r}
 of a porous reservoir is a linear sum of pressure responses 
LaTeX Math Inline
body\delta p_k(t, {\bf r})
to individual rate variations 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq_k(t)
 in all wells 
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyk
 connected wells connected to this reservoir:

LaTeX Math Block

p(t, {\bf r}) = p_i + \sum_k \delta p_k(t, {\bf r}) = p_i + \sum_k  \int_0^t p_{uk}(t-\tau, {\bf r}) \, dq_k(\tau)


In case the reservoir point

 defines location of

-well the superposition principle can be rewritten as:

p_m(t) = p_i{mi} + \sum_k \delta p_{mk}(t) = p_i{mi} +  \sum_k \int_0^t p_{umk}(t-\tau) \, dq_k(\tau) = p_i{mi} + \int_0^t p_{umm}(t-\tau) \, dq_km(\tau) + \sum_{k \neq m}  \int_0^t p_{umk}(t-\tau) \, dq_k(\tau)
