Implication that a total pressure p(t, {\bf r}) in any point {\bf r} of a porous reservoir is a sum of pressure responses \delta p_k(t, {\bf r}) to individual rate variations q_k(t) in all wells k connected to this reservoir:
(1) | p(t, {\bf r}) = p_i + \sum_k \delta p_k(t, {\bf r}) = p_i + \sum_k \int_0^t p_{uk}(t-\tau, {\bf r}) \, dq(\tau) |
In case reservoir point {\bf r} defines location of m-well the superposition principle can be rewritten as:
(2) | p_m(t) = p_i + \sum_k \delta p_{mk}(t) = p_i + \int_0^t p_{umk}(t-\tau) \, dq_m(\tau) = p_i + \int_0^t p_{umm}(t-\tau) \, dq_k(\tau) + \sum_{k \neq m} \int_0^t p_{umk}(t-\tau) \, dq_k(\tau) |
