Some fields have a hydrodynamically tilted oil-water contact (Figure 30). This results from variations in aquifer pressure associated with the movement of water in the subsurface, mainly as a result of a mobile artesian aquifer or basin dewatering (Hubbert, 1953). The tilts are toward the direction of reducing pressure and are generally less than 2deg in gradient (Dennis et al., 2000, 2005).
