التشكيل الصخري الحامل للنفط

Explanation:
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.
