  "term": "Heterogeneity",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The condition of having spatially variable properties within a rock formation or reservoir, such as permeability, porosity, or lithology. This variability influences fluid flow paths and recovery efficiency in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Heterogeneity is a key factor in reservoir characterization and simulation, often quantified by statistical measures or geological models.",
