This document discusses the major types of natural energy sources that can drive oil, water, and gas reservoirs. It identifies four main types: 1) expansion of reservoir fluids like oil, water, and gas, 2) expansion of the reservoir formation itself, 3) expansion of any connected aquifers, and 4) gravitational segregation of oil and gas within the reservoir. The document is a conclusion and indicates more information will follow.

Conclusion
The major types of energy for natural
drive mechanisms 1. Expansion of the reservoir fluids (oil, water and gas) 2. Expansion of the reservoir formation 3. Expansion of an aquifer if one exists 4. Gravitational energy that causes the oil and gas to segregate within the reservoir
