| [[Porosity]] consists of relatively large voids, or pores, distributed among smaller passages called pore throats. A pore system is an aggregate of pores and pore throats that shares a similar morphology. These elements play a role in determining [[reservoir]] and [[seal]] petrophysics (the characteristic way that oil, gas, and water move through rocks).
