\delta p (t) = p_{wf}(t_0) - p_{wf}(t)


Pressure drop is is:

positive

LaTeX Math Inline
body \delta p (t) >0

when production rate is increased or injection rate is decreased 

negative

LaTeX Math Inline
body \delta p (t) <0

when production rate is decreased or injection rate is increased

...

On log-log plots the pressure drop is always pictured as positive (see Fig. 1).
