What is the primary source rock for petroleum?
Source rocks are rich in organic materials that generate hydrocarbons under heat and pressure.
What is porosity in a reservoir rock?
Porosity is a measure of the void spaces in a material, indicating its ability to store fluids.
Which tool is commonly used to evaluate reservoir properties?
Well logging tools provide data about rock and fluid properties in a borehole.
What is the function of a cap rock in a petroleum trap?
Cap rocks prevent hydrocarbons from migrating out of the reservoir.
Which factor influences reservoir permeability?
Permeability is the ability of a rock to transmit fluids, depending on pore connectivity.
What does a structural trap rely on?
Structural traps form due to changes in the structure of the Earth's crust.

What is the main goal of reservoir characterization?
Characterization aims to understand the properties and behavior of the reservoir to optimize production.
Which geophysical method helps identify potential reservoirs?
Seismic surveys provide images of subsurface structures using sound waves.
What type of rock is most commonly associated with reservoir rocks?
Reservoir rocks are typically porous and permeable, allowing fluid storage and movement.
