Reservoir Compartmentalization

Reservoir Compartmentalization is a geological phenomenon in which the internal architecture of a hydrocarbon reservoir restricts fluid flow between adjacent regions due to the presence of sealing faults, stratigraphic barriers, or diagenetic contrasts, thereby creating physically isolated compartments within a single reservoir system.
