A cross-well type of Unit-rate Transient Response (UTR):  Sandface pressure response drop in well "m" to unit-rate ( q_k=1) production from the well "k":

(1) p_{u,mk}(t) = p_{{\rm wf}, m}(0) - p_{{\rm wf}, mk}(t)|_{q_m =1} > 0, \quad p_{u,mk}(0) = 0


It's a virtual analogue of a unit-rate step-response pressure interference test to the shut-in well "k" from the constant unit-rate production  q_m=1 from the well "m"
