Natural "Drive Mechanism" of a hydrocarbon reservoir is the natural energy available to push fluid from different parts of the reservoir to the producing well. There are a number of drive mechanisms identified. Often, more than one mechanism act simultaneously on a reservoir. The following is a list of most common drive mechanism:
- Aquifer Drive / Water Influx
- Gas Cap Expansion Drive
- Solution Gas Drive
- Gravity Drainage
