Stationary flow when fluid pressure and temperature across reservoir do not change in time:
p(t, {\bf r}) = \rm const |
T(t, {\bf r}) = \rm const |
This automatically implies that fluid density also stay constant as soon as the flow is in thermodynamic quasistatic equilibrium:
\rho(t, {\bf r}) = \rm const |
Well production or injection resulting inĀ steady state flow is characterised by:
| constant flow rate | |
| constant formation pressureĀ | |
| constant bottom-hole pressure |
