Jan 4, 2006 22:16: Fuad Yahya changed "Term asked" from "Oil-bearing formation" to "formation"

Discussion

Fuad Yahya Jan 4, 2006:
In the absence of a sentence where the phrase "oil-bearing formation" is found, the term will be trimmed to "formation," understood to mean "rock formation" (in the context of oil and gas).

English term (edited): oil-bearing formation
Selected

التشكيل الصخري الحامل للنفط

Oil and water

When water is injected into an oil-bearing formation under pressure two things happen -- at least in theory. The fractured rock is supposed to release the oil, and the water is supposed to push it into flow-conducting fractures, further toward the production wells. Meanwhile the water presumably fills the voids left behind, maintaining the pressure and structural integrity of the rock formation.

التكوين أو التكوين الصخري

This is the term used in the field of oil and gas. How you can combine it with various word strings (like "oil-bearing") will depend on how the phrase occurs in the sentence.
