Understanding Clastic Reservoirs
Clastic reservoirs are abundant geological formations found worldwide, created through the erosion, transportation, and deposition of sedimentary materials. These reservoirs vary widely in their attributes based on their formation setting, such as deserts or deep oceanic environments, leading to distinct characteristics in distribution, composition, and structure. The lithification process and subsequent diagenetic changes further impact these rocks, shaping them into conduits, barriers, or containers that hold and trap subsurface fluids.
