This well is producing under active water drive, as indicated by the significant increase in water production in the final months, low reservoir pressure, and operator suspicion of watering out. The well has a high permeability reservoir with low pressure, experienced rising water production, and is believed by the operator to have watered out, all signs that an active water drive is present.
