Introduction
A rock or a stone is most commonly a natural substance that constitutes one or more
minerals which may include graphite. The earth's outer layer and lithosphere are composed of
rocks which make the outer cover of the earth. However, on the topic of rocks, there are reservoir
rocks which derived from their name they have the ability to store and in this care these rocks
store fluids inside their pores for a very long time. However, these fluids can be extracted from
these reservoir rocks. Petroleum of amongst one of the most common fluids to be obtained from
reservoir rocks since they produce accumulate hydrocarbons. In this case, a petroleum reservoir
if a pool of hydrocarbons that is contained within the pores of rock formations and thus in this
case petroleum reservoirs can broadly be classified as both unconventional and conventional
reservoir. The ability of these rocks to hold fluids (gas, water, and air) makes reservoir rocks
have the ability to contain vital resources that could be extracted.
