One of the Steady-State Diagnostics methods based on plotting pressure integral P(t) = \int_0^t \left( p_{wf}(\tau) - p_e(\tau) \right) d\tau vs cumulative flow Q(t) = \int_0^t q_t(\tau) d\tau
It shows unit slope for SS flow regime:
(1) | P(t) = J^{-1} Q(t) |
where
J | constant productivity index |
Although it is equally applicable to both producers and injectors, due to pressure data availability in practical cases the hall plot sought the most of its applications for water injectors.
