The calculation of pressure derivatives is based on an algorithm recommended by Bourdet et al.1 The pressure derivative at a point of interest denoted as I in Figure 12C.1 is determined by using a preceding point denoted as 1 and a succeeding point denoted as 2 to calculated a weighted mean derivative which is placed at point I. Using the notation in Figure 12C.1, the algorithm can be written as:
