Abstract
A rock capable of producing oil, gas, or water is called reservoir rock. A reservoir rock may be any rock with sufficient porosity and permeability to allow oil and gas to accumulate and be produced in commercial quantities [1]. Petroleum generally occurs in sandstones, limestones, dolomites, conglomerates, and shales, but sometimes it is also found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
