well according to my research impermeable rock that occurs at the top of an oil reservoir is called cap rock
At the top of an oil reservoir is a layer of?
oil, gas, rock, water
What common rock structure can trap oil and natural gas under it?
Shale rock / Roof rock
What is the best reservoir rock?
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 rock best stores oil?
limestone
Is petroleum an igneous rock sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock?
sedimentary, the oil is formed within a source rock formed with high quantities of decomposed vegetation, then a reservoir rock which holds the oil and a capping rock which seals it shut in addition to this sequence of rocks, certain structures are required to stop the oil escaping, a classic would be an anticline
