tightrock
Tightrock is a term used in the field of geology to describe a type of sedimentary rock that is characterized by its fine-grained texture and high degree of compaction. This rock is typically formed from the consolidation of fine-grained sediments, such as clay or silt, over a long period of time. The compaction process involves the removal of water and air from the sediment, leading to the formation of a dense, hard rock.
Tightrock is often found in sedimentary basins where there has been significant burial and compaction of sediments.
Tightrock has important implications for various industries, including oil and gas exploration. The low permeability of
In summary, tightrock is a fine-grained, compacted sedimentary rock that is characterized by its low porosity
