Porous sandstone is a good reservoir rock for its porosity enables it to store the fluid (oil?) and also to allow easy release.
Compare with oil shale, where the rock is very fine grained and will not release the fluid easily.
Both would ideally be capped with an impermeable cap rock to constrain the oil.

What do source rock and reservoir rock have in common?
both source rocks and reservoir rocks are highly porous. however, the permeabilty of a reservoir rock distinguishes it from a source rock.

well according to my research impermeable rock that occurs at the top of an oil reservoir is called cap rock
What is the impermeable rock on top of a reservoir?
This is known as a cap rock.
What are the geological components necessary to have a petroleum resource?
Source rock; reservoir rock; cap rock
What are 2 main reservoir rock properties?
The physical characteristics of reservoir rocks that enable them to store fluids and to allow fluids to flow through them. The main properties of interest are rock porosities and permeabilities.
