The pressure convolution principle has some limitations and may not be adequate for some practical cases.
For example, changing reservoir conditions, high compressibility – everything which breaks linearity of diffusion equations.
There are some workarounds on these cases but the best practice is to check the validity of pressure convolution (and therefore the applicability of MDCV) on the simple synthetic 2-well Dynamic Flow Model (DFM) with the typical for the given case reservoir-fluid-production conditions.
