3.4 RESERVOIR DRIVE
MECHANISMS
Reservoir drive mechanism

-reducing the M.B to a compact form to


quantify reservoir performance
- Solution gas drive -determining the main producing
- Gascap drive characteristics,
-Natural water
drive
In terms of for example, GOR; water cut
- Compaction drive -determining the pressure decline in the
reservoir
- estimating the primary recovery factor
3.5 SOLUTION GAS DRIVE

(a) above the B.P. pressure (b) below the B.P. pressure
ABOVE THE B.P. PRESSURE
- NO INITIAL GASCAP, M=0
- NO WATER FLUX, WE=0 ; NO WATER PRODUCTION, WP=0
- RS=RSI=RP
