n: a combination of two or more natural energies that work together in a reservoir to force fluids into a wellbore. Possible combinations include gas-cap and water drive, solution gas and water drive, and gas-cap drive and gravity drainage.

n: the use of the energy that arises from the expansion of compressed gas in a reservoir to move crude oil to a wellbore. Also called depletion drive. See dissolved- gas drive. gas-cap drive. reservoir drive mechanism.

flooding a oil reservoir from the top of the reservoir or an updip location, to push the oil towards a producing well.

n: drive energy supplied naturally (as a reservoir is produced) by the expansion of the gas cap. In such a drive, the gas cap expands to force oil into the well and to the surface. See reservoir drive mechanism.
