This is known as a cap rock.
well according to my research impermeable rock that occurs at the top of an oil reservoir is called cap rock
Groundwater collects when rainwater or surface water percolates through soil and rock layers until it reaches an impermeable layer, forming an underground reservoir. This reservoir can feed into wells, springs, and aquifers.
Impermeable. The pores in solid rock are too small for water to flow through.
The water sinks through the ground through permeable rock and is concentrating when it arrives to impermeable rock. When due to erosion the impermeable rock carrying water is exposed, the water appears as a spring.
An impermeable rock that does not allow water to pass through is called a impermeable rock, such as shale or clay. These rocks have very low porosity and permeability, preventing water from flowing through them.

If the layer of impermeable rock is below the water table, then the water table is likely above the impermeable rock and the groundwater will be trapped above it. If the impermeable rock is above the water table, then the water table is likely below the impermeable rock layer and the groundwater will not be able to pass through it.

Shale is the type of sedimentary rock that is impermeable.
Granite, Clay.

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.
