Quartz

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003018

A common rock-forming mineral composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), known for its hardness and resistance to weathering. It is a primary constituent of many reservoir rocks, particularly sandstones, where its grains provide the framework for porosity. Quartz is a key component in determining the mechanical properties of reservoir formations.
