Places where fluids collect are called reservoirs.[1] Within energy science the word reservoir usually refers to either:
- Reservoir - Oil and Gas: a formation of rock in which oil and natural gas has accumulated.
- Reservoir - Water: a human made structure that stores water in a defined volumetric area (ex. hydroelectric reservoir)
- Types of Reservoirs
Figure 1. Gas reservoirs are located deep underground.[2]
Figure 2. The reservoir behind the Hoover Dam is called Lake Mead.[3]
