Fluid flow in a reservoir is controlled by bed continuity, the presence of baffles to flow, and the [[permeability]] distribution (see [[Fundamentals of fluid flow]]). Reservoir heterogeneities influencing fluid flow range from large scale faults and discontinuities down to thin shale intercalations, sedimentary structures, and even pore scale features ([[:file:reservoir-modeling-for-simulation-purposes_fig1.png|Figure 1]]).
