Reservoir Rock

Reservoir rock is a type of geological formation that can hold significant quantities of fluids, such as oil or natural gas. These rocks have small spaces, called pores, which allow for the accumulation and storage of these resources. Common reservoir rocks include sandstone and limestone. Their ability to trap fluids is crucial in the energy industry, as it determines where drilling for oil and gas can occur. Understanding reservoir rocks helps geologists and engineers locate viable energy sources and assess their potential for extraction.
