Pressure difference between the current wellbore flowing current bottom-hole pressure
and the
wellbore flowing pressure bottom-hole pressure at time moment
when flowrate has changed :

\delta p (t) = p_{wf}(t_0) - p_{wf}(t) |
Pressure drop is:
| | when production rate is increased or injection rate is decreased |

| | when production rate is decreased or injection rate is increased |

On log-log plots the pressure drop is always pictured as positive (see Fig. 1).

A sample typical DTR ( and log-derivative P' in red) presented in log-log coordinates for PTA type-library analysis
In particular case when the well has been shut-in for a long time and wellbore bottom-hole pressure has has stabilised by the time moment
and when well is opened for flow the
pressure drop will be equal to
pressure drawdown:

\Delta p{\rm pressure } \, \, {\rm drop} = \delta p (t) = p_e_{wf}(t_0) - p_{wf}(t) = p_{wf}(t_0)e - p_{wf}(t) = \deltaDelta p (t) = {\rm pressure } \, \, {\rm drawdown} |
as the initial wellbore pressure point represent bottom-hole pressure value
represents formation pressure :
