Fig. 1.1. Perforated reservoir A1 producing good water which is coming along with hydrocarbons. Compare with bad water production from A2, where water is not coming along with hydrocarbons.

Fig. 1.2. Perforated reservoir A1 producing good water which is coming along with hydrocarbons. Compare with bad water production from non-perforated A2 which is linked to A1 through behind-casing channel.
