    This document discusses different types of reservoir drive mechanisms and their rate sensitivity. An artesian water drive system will maintain constant pressure at the oil/water contact if oil production is less than aquifer influx. A sealed aquifer system will see declining pressure at the oil/water contact if production is less than aquifer influx. A sealed system where production exceeds aquifer influx will result in a combination drive mechanism.

    Reservoir

    Drive Mechanisms
    Water drive Rate sensitivity
    a) Artesian system whose oil production is less
    than aquifer influx then pressure at oil/water
    contact remains constant. If not get solution
    gas drive combination
    b) Sealed aquifer system whose production is
    less than aquifer influx then pressure at OWC
    will steadily decline.
    Water drive- rate sensitivity
    c) Sealed system where oil production is greater
    than aquifer system will result in combination
    drive.
