 Conventional Reservoirs:
Conventional reservoirs are the quintessential
sources of oil and gas production. They are typically
found in sedimentary rock formations that possess
substantial porosity and permeability. The porous
nature of these reservoir rocks allows them to store
and transmit hydrocarbons effectively

 Unconventional Reservoirs:
Conventional reservoirs are the quintessential
sources of oil and gas production. They are typically
found in sedimentary rock formations that possess
substantial porosity and permeability. The porous
nature of these reservoir rocks allows them to store
and transmit hydrocarbons effectively
 Shale Gas and Oil Reservoirs
 Tight Gas and Oil Reservoirs
 Coalbed Methane Reservoirs

Offshore Reservoirs
Offshore oil and gas reservoirs are located beneath the seabed and present unique challenges due to their underwater
location. These reservoirs can be either conventional or unconventional and require specialized technologies for
exploration and production. Offshore drilling platforms, including fixed platforms, floating production systems, and
subsea systems, are used to access and extract hydrocarbons from these reservoirs.

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)Reservoirs:
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are employed to extract additional hydrocarbons from reservoirs after
primary and secondary recovery methods have been exhausted. These methods involve altering the properties of the
reservoir or the hydrocarbons to enhance their flow characteristics. Common EOR techniques include injecting
gases (such as carbon dioxide), chemicals, or steam into the reservoir. These injections help displace the oil and
reduce its viscosity, making it easier to extract.

 Main types of oil and gas
reservoir
• Standard oil reservoir(mostly crude oil with
some water and gas)
• Volatile oil reservoir(high amounts of
corrosive gas in addition to oil and water)
• Dry gas reservoir(mostly natural gas )
• Gas condensate reservoir(gas condensate
reservoir)
