Petroleum in its (immediate) natural context: University of Georgia Department of Geology GEOL 4320/6320 Petroleum Geology Petroleum in its (immediate) natural context: Reservoir - body of rock in which an accumulation of oil resides - “formation” in petrophysical/engineering language - “the sand” in roughneck language Critical reservoir characteristics: Porosity - non-mineral-filled space (“void space”) Pore throats - connections between pores Permeability - extent to which a fluid will pass through something (here, the reservoir) Thickness Continuity
