===============================================
Define:
a) Porosity:
It is the percentage of pore volume or void space to the total volume of rock.
• Primary porosity: The porosity preserved from deposition through lithification.
• Secondary porosity: created through alteration of rock, commonly by processes such as
dolomitization, dissolution and fracturing.
• Total porosity: is the total void space and as such includes isolated pores and the
connected
pores
• Effective porosity: The interconnected pore volume or void space in a rock that
contributes to fluid flow or permeability in a reservoir.
b) Permeability:
It is the ability of the rock to transmit fluids, to be permeable; a formation must have
interconnected porosity (Unit is Darcie)
• Absolute permeability: ability to flow or transmit fluids through a rock, conducted when
a single fluid, or phase, is present in the rock.
• Effective permeability: The ability to preferentially flow or transmit a particular fluid
when other immiscible fluids are present in the reservoir. If a single fluid is present in a
rock, its relative permeability is 1.0
• Relative permeability: is the ratio of effective permeability of a particular fluid at a
particular saturation to absolute permeability of that fluid at total saturation.
c) Sedimentary rock:
9/11
Is a type of rock that is formed by sedimentation of material at the Earth’s surface and
within bodies of water. the most important for the oil industry as it contains most of the
source rocks and cap rocks and virtually all reservoirs. Sedimentary rocks come from the
debris of older rocks ; and are split into two categories:
• Clastic rocks: Formed from the materials of older rocks by the actions of
erosion, transportation and deposition. (Mechanical process). Such as conglomerate,
sandstone, shale.
• Non clastic rocks: are formed by chemical precipitation (settling out from a solution).
Such as Limestone, calcite and halite.
d) Formation:
– It is basic unit for the naming of rocks in stratigraphy: a set of rocks that are or once
were horizontally continuous, that share some distinctive feature of lithology, and are
large enough to be mapped.
– Is the fundamental unit of lithostratigraphy. A formation consists of a certain number
of rock strata that have a comparable lithology, facies or other similar properties.
A formation can be divided into member and are themselves grouped together in groups.
e) Sequence:
f) Index fossil:
Are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods (or faunal stages). They work on
the premise that, although different sediments may look different depending on the
conditions under which they were laid down, If the species concerned were short-lived (in
geological terms, lasting a few hundred thousand years), then it is certain that the
sediments in question were deposited within that narrow time period. The shorter the
lifespan of a species, the more precisely different sediments can be correlated, and so
rapidly evolving types of fossils are
particularly valuable. The best index fossils are common, easy-to-identify at species
level, and have a broad distribution—otherwise the likelihood of finding and recognizing
one in the two sediments is minor.
g) Unconformity:
Is a buried erosion surface separating two rock masses or strata of different ages. There
are many type from unconformity surface:
• Angular unconformity: is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata of
sedimentary rock are deposited on tilted and eroded layers, producing an angular
discordance with the overlying horizontal layers.
10/11
parallel layers of sedimentary rocks which represents a period of erosion or non-
deposition. paraconformity is a type of disconformity in which the separation is a simple
bedding plane with no obvious buried erosional surface.
h) Structure:
A geological feature produced by deformation of the Earth’s crust, such as a fold or a fault;
a feature within a rock, such as a fracture or bedding surface; or, more generally, the
spatial arrangement of rocks.
