Figure 3.16 - Typical performance from a solution gas
drive system. At the initial production with a solution-drive
mechanism, the well produces oil (green) with a low gas/oil ratio
(GOR) (blue). As oil is extracted, the reservoir pressure (black)
drops, gas comes out of solution, and the GOR rises sharply;
consequently, oil production drops.
