I) Comment:
The RF for volumetric depletion to 500 psia no water drive is approximately 86% while
the RF for partial water drive is 61%, and full water drive 51%. As water invades the

reservoir, the pressure in the reservoir is maintained at a higher compared to if there was
no water encroachment. This results in higher abandonment pressures for water-drive
reservoirs.
