Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001813

Describing a material or system that exhibits variations in its properties or composition from one point to another. In geology, a heterogeneous reservoir has spatially varying rock properties such as porosity, permeability, and fluid distribution. This variability affects how fluids move through the reservoir and impacts production strategies.
