WFP – Well Flow Performance Analysis analysis is a specialized analysis of comparative analysis between the formation deliverability and wellbore deliverability.
It is based on correlation between surface flowrate and wellbore bottomhole pressure as a function of tubing-head pressure and formation pressure and associated production optimization procedures.

Most reservoir engineers exploit material balance thinking which is based on long-term well-by-well flow rates targets (where producers or injectors).
In practice, the flow rate targets are closely related to bottomhole pressure and associated limitations and require a specialised analysis to set up the optimal lifting parameters.
This is primary domain of WFP analysis.
WFP is performed on stabilised wellbore and reservoir flow and does not cover transient behavior which is normally covered in Well Testing domain.
