Which of the following would make the best reservoir rock in a conventional hydrocarbon system?
A) high-porosity,high-permeability rock
B) low-porosity,low-permeability rock
C) high-porosity,low-permeability rock
D) low-porosity,high-permeability rock

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best reservoir rock in a conventional hydrocarbon system would be high-porosity, high-permeability rock, as it allows for easy movement of oil and gas through the rock and into the wellbore. Low-porosity and low-permeability rocks would impede oil and gas flow, while high-porosity and low-permeability rocks would have space for the hydrocarbons but not necessarily easy movement through the rock. Low-porosity and high-permeability rocks would not be able to hold the hydrocarbons effectively. Therefore, A is the best choice.
