[[:file:predicting-reservoir-system-quality-and-performance_fig9-4.png|Figure 1]] is a cross section of a reservoir system in an unconformity truncation trap. The reservoir system contains two different containers characterized by pore systems of different quality. Flow units 1 and 3 are microporous; flow units 2 and 5 are mesoporous; and flow unit 4 is macroporous. Container 1 is comprised of flow units 4 and 5 and part of 3. It has a strong water drive. Container 2 is comprised of flow units 1, 2, and part of 3. It has a partial water drive. The boundary between containers 1 and 2 is where fluid flow diverges in flow unit 3. Container 1 is of higher quality in terms of performance capability.

Three wells in the figure drain the reservoir. Next to each well is a decline curve. We can consider how container quality and drive affect well performance:
