Reservoir Quality

Reservoir quality refers to the ability of a rock layer to store and transmit fluids, such as oil or natural gas. It is determined by factors like porosity (the space between grains to hold fluids) and permeability (how easily fluids can flow through the rock). High reservoir quality means the rock can effectively contain and allow the movement of these resources, making it more valuable for extraction. Understanding reservoir quality is essential in geology and energy production, as it directly impacts the efficiency and success of oil and gas exploration.
