petroleumreservoirs
A petroleum reservoir is a naturally occurring underground accumulation of hydrocarbons, typically oil and natural gas. These reservoirs form under specific geological conditions over millions of years. The process begins with the deposition of organic-rich sediments in ancient seas or lakes. As these sediments are buried deeper, the heat and pressure transform the organic matter into kerogen, which then further matures into liquid oil and gaseous natural gas.
For a reservoir to form, several key elements are required. First, there must be a source rock
The hydrocarbons are held within the pore spaces of the reservoir rock. The efficiency of a reservoir
