The usual convention is to split pressure transient response in three major time intervals (see also Fig. 4):
| Early Time Response (ETR) | Middle Time Response (MTR) | Late Time Response (LTR) |
|---|
| Wellbore storage and well-reservoir contact effects | Unconstrained reservoir flow | Reservoir boundary effects |
