Physical processes supporting reservoir flow:
| Compaction drive | Oil Drive | Gas Drive | Water Drive | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solution Gas Drive | Gas Cap Drive | Gasflood | Waterflood | Aquifer Drive | ||
| Natural Flow Drive | Artificial Flow Drive | Natural Flow Drive | ||||
It is closely related to the concept of reservoir pressure maintenance.
All the above reservoir flow drive mechanisms are natural except Waterflood and Gasflood which are artificial.
