Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004068

Describing a rock texture characterized by the presence of vugs, which are relatively large, irregular cavities or voids. These vugs often form through the dissolution of soluble minerals or by incomplete infilling during crystallization. Vuggy porosity can contribute to reservoir permeability if the vugs are interconnected.
