a reservoir drive mechanism in which dissolved gas from the crude oil breaks out of solution and provides energy to push the hydrocarbons toward the wellbore.

n: a source of natural reservoir energy in which the dissolved gas coming out of the oil expands to force the oil into the well bore. Also called solution-gas drive. See reservoir drive mechanism.

a reservoir drive mechanism in which gas expansion in the gas cap pushes the oil towards the wellbore.

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.

any of various methods, chiefly reservoir drive mechanisms and enhanced recover techniques, designed to improve the flow of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the wellbore or to recover more oil after the primary and secondary methods (water and gas flood

n: see reservoir drive mechanism.

n: see reservoir drive mechanism.

n: the process in which reservoir fluids are caused to flow out of the reservoir rock and into a wellbore by natural energy. Gas drive depends on the fact that, as the reservoir is produced, pressure is reduced, allowing the gas to expand and provide the principal driving energy. Water drive reservoirs depend on water and rock expansion to force the hydrocarbons out of the reservoir and into the wellbore. Also called natural drive energy.

a reservoir drive mechanism provided by the expansion of solution gas in the oil.
