Fluid pressure is nondirectional if the fluid is static. If a pressure imbalance exists in any direction, the fluid moves in the direction of lower fluid pressure. The diagrams in [[:file:formation-fluid-pressure-and-its-application_fig5-1.png|Figure 1]] illustrate balanced and unbalanced pressures.
