High permeability is necessary to allow for the movement and storage of oil and gas in the rock. A good stratification may be helpful for identifying the rock layers, but it is not necessary for it to have potential as a reservoir rock. A chemical origin or clastic texture do not have a direct correlation with the potential for a rock to be a reservoir.
