French term

PTH

French to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci unit of measurement?
This acronym might be in French, or might be in English, the client uses both. It is part of a description of some operations in relation to well stimulation.

"... afin d’améliorer l’injectivité et donc les débits d’injection à 120 bar. Puis ces tests ont permis de réaliser différents paliers de débit à différentes PTH pour connaître les variations de débits d’injection pour chaque puits."

Would puissance thermique make sense here? I don't see how that would fit in...

The P must be pression/pressure but I can't figure out what the rest might refer to... perhaps something obvious I'm not thinking of!

I have looked at a few acronym lists of course, and even had a good giggle on google (Pass The Hash, Pagan Tea House...), would appreciate any help.
