Recovery mechanisms rely solely on natural reservoir energy.

This statement is not entirely accurate. While natural reservoir energy does play a significant role in recovery mechanisms, there are also other factors and technologies that can be used to enhance recovery from reservoirs. These can include techniques such as hydraulic fracturing, water flooding, gas injection, and thermal methods like steam injection. Additionally, artificial lift systems can be used to help extract oil and gas from reservoirs where natural energy alone may not be sufficient. Overall, recovery mechanisms often involve a combination of natural reservoir energy and human intervention to maximize production.
