Consider a pressure convolution equation for the above 2-wells system with constant BHP:

LaTeX Math Block

p_1(t) = p_i - \int_0^t p_{u,\rm 11}(t-\tau) dq_1(\tau) - \int_0^t p_{u,\rm 21}(t-\tau) dq_2(\tau) = \rm const

The time derivative is going to be zero as the BHP in producer W1 stays constant at all times:

\dot p_1(t) = - \left( \int_0^t p_{u,\rm 11}(t-\tau) dq_1(\tau) \right)^{\cdot} - \left( \int_0^t p_{u,\rm 21}(t-\tau) dq_2(\tau) \right)^{\cdot} = 0

p_{u,\rm 11}(0) \cdot q_1(t) + \int_0^t \dot p_{u,\rm 11}(t-\tau) dq_1(\tau)  = - p_{u,\rm 21}(0) \cdot q_2(t) -  \int_0^t \dot p_{u,\rm 21}(t-\tau) dq_2(\tau) 

The zero-time value of DTR / CTR is zero by definition

bodyp_{u,\rm 11}(0) = 0, \, p_{u,\rm 21}(0) = 0
which leads to:

For the finite-volume reservoir
