Water influx

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004097

The movement of water from an aquifer into a hydrocarbon reservoir, driven by pressure differences. This natural process can provide pressure support to the reservoir, aiding in oil and gas recovery. The rate of water influx depends on the aquifer's size, permeability, and the pressure differential.
