Gas Reservoirs

Gas reservoir, in geology and gas production, a present cargo area, characteristically a folded rock formation like an anticline, that traps and holds gas like petroleum. Petroleum reservoirs are of two types they are conventional and unconventional reservoirs. within the case of conventional reservoirs, the present hydrocarbons, like petroleum or gas, are trapped by overlying rock formations with lower permeability. While in unconventional reservoirs the rock has high porosity and low permeability which keeps the hydrocarbons trapped in situ, therefore not requiring a cap rock. Reservoirs are found using the hydrocarbon exploration method. Gas reservoir, in geology and gas production, a present stage area, characteristically a folded rock formation like an anticline that traps and holds the gas and it's to be capped by an impervious rock so as to make an efficient seal that forestalls the gas from escaping upward or laterally.
