Petrographic

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002757

Relating to the description and classification of rocks, particularly through microscopic examination of thin sections. Petrographic analysis involves identifying mineral composition, texture, and fabric to understand a rock's origin, diagenetic history, and reservoir quality. This method provides detailed insights into pore geometry and fluid flow pathways within reservoir rocks.
