Well test interpretation focuses on the transient pressure
response. Near wellbore conditions are seen first and later,
when the drainage area expands, the pressure response is the
characteristics of the reservoir properties until boundary effects
are seen at later time (at which flow regime changes to
pseudosteady-state or steady state).
