Stationary flow when fluid pressure and temperature across reservoir do not change in time:

LaTeX Math Block
alignmentleft
p(t, {\bf r}) = \rm const
\\[1.2ex]
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:

LaTeX Math Block
alignmentleft
\rho(t, {\bf r}) = \rm const


Well production or injection resulting in steady state flow is characterised by 

constant rate:

q(t) = q = \rm const

constant formation pressure

p_e(t) = p_e = \rm const

and constant bottom-hole pressure:

p_{wf}(t) = p_{wf} = \rm const
