About Course

This microlearning course introduces the fundamentals of reservoir drive mechanisms, the natural sources of energy that push oil and gas toward a wellbore. Learners will explore solution gas drive, gas cap drive, water drive, and gravity drainage, and why recognizing the dominant drive mechanism matters for reservoir management. Designed for beginners, the course takes approximately 10-13 minutes to complete.

  • Explain the general concept of a reservoir drive mechanism
  • Describe solution gas drive
  • Describe gas cap drive
  • Describe water drive
  • Explain the general concept of gravity drainage
  • Recognize why identifying the dominant drive mechanism matters for reservoir management
