During this time period, the rate of pressure decline is inversely proportional to
the liquid-filled pore volume, Vp. This result leads to a form of well testing
sometimes called reservoir-limits testing, which seeks to determine reservoir
size from the rate of pressure decline in a wellbore with time.

• A commonly used measure of the ability of the well to produce is the productivity
index.
• Defined by the symbol J, the productivity index is the ratio of the total liquid flow
rate to the pressure drawdown.
• The well is shut-in until the static reservoir pressure is reached. The well is then allowed to
produce at a constant flow rate of Q and a stabilized bottom-hole flow pressure of Pwf.
The productivity index is then calculated from the previous Equation.
• It is important to note that the productivity index is a valid measure of the well
productivity potential only if the well is flowing at pseudo-steady state conditions.
• Therefore, it is essential that the well is allowed to flow at a constant flow rate for a
sufficient amount of time to reach the pseudo-steady state as illustrated in Figure 7-1.
• The figure indicates that during the transient flow period, the calculated values of the
productivity index will vary depending upon the time of Pwf measurements.
