Pressure difference between the current wellbore flowing pressure and the wellbore flowing pressure
at time moment
when flowrate has changed :
\delta p (t) = p_{wf}(t_0) - p_{wf}(t) |

In particular case when the well has been shut-in for a long time and wellbore pressure has stabilised by the time moment and when well is opened for flow the pressure drop will be equal to pressure drawdown:
\Delta p(t) = p_e - p_{wf}(t) = p_{wf}(t_0) - p_{wf}(t) = \delta p (t) |
as the initial wellbore pressure point represent formation pressure :
p_{wf}(t_0) = p_e |
