Rocks that are _____ allow oil, natural gas, and groundwater to flow through them and even seep to the surface.

FinnZ [79.3K]

The type of rock that allows oil, natural gas, and groundwater to flow through them is known as reservoir rock and this can only occur if the rocks are permeable.

<h3>What is a Reservoir Rock?</h3>

This refers to the type of rocks that allows natural gases and fluids to go through them because of their permeability.

Hence, we can see that because the rocks have good permeability, that is they have the ability to allow minerals to flow through them, then this is known as a reservoir rock.
