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.

What is the difference between primary and secondary migration of hydrocarbon?
There are two types of migration when discussing the movement of petroleum, primary and secondary. Primary migration refers to the movement of hydrocarbons from source rock into reservoir rock and it is this type that the following discussion refers to. Secondary migration refers to the subsequent movement of hydrocarbons within reservoir rock; the oil and gas has left the source rock and has entered the reservoir rock. This occurs when petroleum is clearly identifiable as crude oil and gas although the gas may be dissolved in the oil. Buoyancy of the hydrocarbons occurs because of differences in densities of respective fluids and in response to differential pressures in reservoir rock.
