Gas and gas-condensate reservoirs are compositionally distinguished from oil reservoirs by the predominance of lighter hydrocarbons, such as methane (60 to 95 percent) and ethane (4 to 8 percent). In the domain of heavy oil reservoirs, heavier hydrocarbon components are relatively abundant in crude oil. Both oil gravity and viscosity increase as heavier hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight are in large proportions.

4 Jan 2016 Hydrocarbon migration is a process that petroleum migrates from source rocks into reservoir. In petroleum geology, hydrocarbon migration is  14 Feb 2014 Hydrocarbon, an organic chemical compound composed of carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons may be gases, liquids, or solids. In nature  In conventional reservoirs, the naturally occurring hydrocarbons, such as crude oil or natural gas, are trapped by overlying rock formations with lower permeability, while in unconventional reservoirs, the rocks have high porosity and low permeability, which keeps the hydrocarbons trapped in place, therefore not requiring a cap rock. A hydrocarbon reservoir may contain liquid, gas, or both, and the vertical occurrence of fluids in the structure is governed by the gravitational segregation. Hydrocarbon reservoirs do have a seal known as cap rock, which is of low permeability that impedes the escape of hydrocarbons from the reservoir rock.

Hydrocarbon reservoirs do have a seal known as cap rock, which is of low permeability that impedes the escape of hydrocarbons from the reservoir rock. A petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface pool of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. Petroleum reservoirs are broadly classified as conventional and unconventional reservoirs. In case of conventional reservoirs, the naturally occurring hydrocarbons, such as crude oil or natural gas, are trapped by overlying rock formations with lower permeability. While in unconventional reservoirs the rocks have high porosity and low permeability which keeps the

The hydrocarbons are contained in a reservoir rock. This is commonly a porous sandstone or limestone. The oil collects in the pores within the rock although open fractures within non-porous rocks (e.g. fractured granite) may also store hydrocarbons. The reservoir must also be permeable so that the hydrocarbons will flow to surface during production.

Hydrocarbon saturation is an important petrophysical parameter in reservoir evaluation and reserve calculation. Dielectric dispersion logs have been widely used to estimate the hydrocarbon saturation, especially in high salinity shale formations. However, there is still room to improve the accuracy of interpretation of dielectric dispersion logs. The volume of hydrocarbon contained in a reservoir is a function of pore volume and water saturation (S w ). Reservoir size and porosity determine pore volume. Pore throat size (see Pore and pore throat sizes) distribution, pore geometry, and hydrocarbon column height determine S w. Oil reservoirs are pools of hydrocarbons, located beneath the earth’s surface in porous rock structures. The total estimate of petroleum reservoirs includes the total quantity of oil that be can be recovered and that which cannot be recovered. The fraction of crude oil reservoirs that can be extracted from the oil field is classified as reserves. An understanding of this will guide us in coming up with the best strategies to produce the hydrocarbons in this reservoir. Saturated Oil Reservoirs. Any reservoir having a pressure that falls at point 2 on the phase envelope is a saturated oil reservoir. A saturated reservoir is fully saturated with lighter hydrocarbon gases at that reservoir pressure. In case of conventional reservoirs, the naturally occurring hydrocarbons, such as crude oil or natural gas, are trapped by overlying rock formations with lower permeability. While in unconventional reservoirs the rocks have high porosity and low permeability which keeps the hydrocarbons trapped in place, therefore not requiring a cap rock.

Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. The most common hydrocarbons are natural gas, oil and coal.

Typical reservoirs are not "pools" or "lakes" of oil beneath the surface, as there are no vast open cavities that contain oil. Oil and gas reservoirs can also be referred to as "hydrocarbon reservoirs".

In case of conventional reservoirs, the naturally occurring hydrocarbons, such as crude oil or natural gas, are trapped by overlying rock formations with lower permeability. While in unconventional reservoirs the rocks have high porosity and low permeability which keeps the hydrocarbons trapped in place, therefore not requiring a cap rock. Biodegradation of crude oil in subsurface petroleum reservoirs is an important alteration process with major economic consequences1. Aerobic degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons at the surface is
