Sandstone Reservoirs

Sandstone reservoirs are underground layers of porous, gravelly rock that contain significant amounts of oil and natural gas. These rocks have spaces or pores that store hydrocarbons, which can be extracted through drilling. Their permeability allows fluids to flow, making them valuable sources of energy. Sandstone reservoirs are common because their structure traps oil and gas in specific geological formations, often capped by less permeable rocks that prevent these resources from escaping. Understanding these reservoirs is essential for efficient extraction and responsible energy production.
