Introduction
In general, naturally occurring rocks are saturated with fluids, water, oil, or gas (Amyx et al. 1960). Any formation rock can produce oil, gas, and water which are considered as reservoir rock. A reservoir rock is a rock has an adequate permeability and porosity to permit fluids flow, to accumulate and to extract in viable volumes (Daniel and Lapedes 1978). Normally, hydrocarbons exist in sandstones, carbonate, and shales formations and also are present in metamorphic and igneous rocks (basement rock). The principal reservoir rocks are sandstone and carbonate formations. Typically, the physical properties and the composition of the sandstone and carbonate reservoir rocks are varying (Cecil 1949). Therefore, known the physical properties of reservoir rocks, reservoir engineers can estimate the hydrocarbon reserve and identified the ultimate reservoir recovery and determine the best effective production that is economically viable under the existing condition. The scale of investigation used in reservoir studies is microscopic (geological thin section), macroscopic (wireline log, core plug), megascopic (reservoir modelling grid cell), and gigascopic (well tes
