The interrelationship of reservoir [[porosity]], [[permeability]], thickness, and lateral distribution determines reservoir system quality. Although quality prediction is most effective with large amounts of superior data, useful predictions can still be made from very limited data. This section discusses methods for predicting the quality of sandstone and carbonate reservoir systems.

The economic success of any prospect ultimately depends on reservoir system performance. The reservoir system controls two critical economic elements of a prospect: (1) the rate and (2) the amount of hydrocarbons recovered. In geologic terms, [[Classifying pore systems|pore type]] and [[pore–fluid interaction]] are the most important elements determining reservoir system performance.The interrelationship of reservoir [[porosity]], [[permeability]], thickness, and lateral distribution determines reservoir system quality.
