Despite of terminological similarity there is a big difference in the way Dynamic Modelling (DM), Well Flow Performance (WFP) and Well Testing define (WT) usually define formation pressure and productivity index. This difference is summarized The most typical definitions (although they do not cover the full variety of definitions referred in petroleum literature) are summarised in the table below: Flow rateProducivity DMfieldaverage the 9-cell {e9}(t = \frac{q_t}{p_e - p_{wf}} |
