One way to improve or maximize the flow of fluids to the well is to connect many pre-existing fractures and flow pathways in the reservoir rock with a larger fracture.

In hydrocarbon exploration, the features that the interpreter is particularly trying to delineate are the parts that make up a petroleum reservoir-the source rock, the reservoir rock, the seal and trap.
23.
NMR logging, a subcategory of electromagnetic logging, measures the induced magnet moment of hydrogen nuclei ( protons ) contained within the fluid-filled pore space of porous media ( reservoir rocks ).
24.
They typically cover large areas, have source rocks in close association with these unconventional reservoir rocks, and are mostly gas ( and in some cases oil ) charged throughout their extent.
25.
Ingrain's advances in 3D imaging technology provide oil and gas companies with comprehensive and accurate measurements of reservoir rock properties including porosity, absolute permeability, electrical conductivity, elastic properties and relative permeability.
26.
Across the north central and northern North Sea, the Chalk Group is a major seal unit, overlying a number of blocks of reservoir rocks and preventing their fluid contents from migrating upwards.
27.
Most potential reservoir rocks contain brine, which is low resistivity, except where the pores are filled with oil or gas when they become much more resistive causing an anomaly on the CSEM data.
28.
After a flow path is made, acids and fracturing fluids may be pumped into the well to fracture, clean, or otherwise prepare and stimulate the reservoir rock to optimally produce hydrocarbons into the wellbore.
29.
After that, the formation of structural folds and faults in the reservoir rocks leads to the natural creation of zones where the natural resources become trapped and stored as reserves that are commercially recoverable.
30.
In geology, bitumen is the product of deposition and maturation of organic matter, and the extractable organic material ( EOM ) by organic solvents in petroleum source rocks and reservoir rocks is defined as bitumen.
