Implication that a total pressure  in any point of a reservoir  is a sum of pressure responses  to individual rate variations  in all wells :

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(\tau)


For a given -well location this can be rewritten as:

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