The free water level is located at the base of a hydrocarbon column and the transition zone. Above this level, the reservoir produces water alone, hydrocarbon and water, or hydrocarbon alone on a production test. Below this level lies the aquifer of a water drive reservoir system. It produces water only. Zero buoyancy pressure exists at this level or below.
